Augmentative communication systems can be enhanced to support storytelling for non-speaking individuals. This allows for richer communication beyond basic needs and wants.

Area of Science:

  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Augmentative communication systems aid non-speaking individuals in expressing themselves through various linguistic units.
  • Current systems often lack support for extended text generation, limiting conversational depth.
  • Most daily conversations involve 'storytelling,' a mode not fully supported by existing AAC.

Observation:

  • A prototype system was evaluated with an adult experiencing dysphasia.
  • The system aimed to facilitate longer text-based communication.
  • The focus was on enabling narrative expression, not just immediate needs.

Findings:

  • The prototype demonstrated the feasibility of supporting extended text in AAC.

  • The system allowed the user to move beyond expressing basic needs and wants.
  • The user could share past experiences and future aspirations.

    • Implications:

    • AAC systems should be designed to support complex communication, including narrative.
    • Expanding AAC capabilities can significantly improve the quality of life for non-speaking individuals.
    • Future AAC development should prioritize features for storytelling and personal expression.
