Abstract

Introduction: Social participation for emerging symbolic communicators on the autism spectrum is often restricted. This is due in part to the time and effort required for both children and partners to use traditional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies during fast-paced social routines. Innovations in artificial intelligence provide the potential for context-aware AAC technology that can provide just-in-time (JIT) communication options based on linguistic input from partners to minimize the time and effort needed to use AAC technologies for social participation.

Methods: This preliminary study used an alternating treatment design to compare the effects of a context-aware AAC prototype with automated cloze phrase response options to traditional AAC for supporting three young children who were emerging symbolic communicators on the autism spectrum in participating within a social routine.

Results: Visual analysis and effect size estimates suggest the context-aware AAC condition resulted in increases in linguistic participation, vocal approximations, and visual attention for all three children.

Conclusion: While this study was only an initial exploration and results are preliminary, context-aware AAC technologies have the potential to enhance participation and communication outcomes for young emerging symbolic communicators on the autism spectrum and more research is needed.

自闭症谱系儿童的情境感知 AAC 与自动及时重读短语响应选项的初步研究,以促进自闭症谱系儿童的社会参与。
简介自闭症谱系中新出现的符号交流者的社交参与往往受到限制。部分原因在于,在快节奏的日常社交活动中,儿童和伙伴都需要花费时间和精力来使用传统的辅助和替代性交流(AAC)技术。人工智能领域的创新为情境感知 AAC 技术提供了可能性,该技术可根据伙伴的语言输入提供即时 (JIT) 交流选项,从而最大限度地减少使用 AAC 技术参与社交活动所需的时间和精力:这项初步研究采用交替治疗设计,比较了带有自动掐词短语应答选项的情境感知辅助交流原型与传统辅助交流技术在支持三名自闭症谱系中新出现的象征性交流者参与社交活动方面的效果:结果:视觉分析和效应大小估计表明,情境感知AAC条件增加了所有三名儿童的语言参与、声音近似和视觉注意力:虽然这项研究只是初步探索,结果也是初步的,但情境感知辅助交流技术有可能提高自闭症谱系中新出现的符号交流者的参与度和交流效果,因此还需要更多的研究。

期刊介绍: Published since 1947, ''Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica'' provides a forum for international research on the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of structures of the speech, language, and hearing mechanisms. Original papers published in this journal report new findings on basic function, assessment, management, and test development in communication sciences and disorders, as well as experiments designed to test specific theories of speech, language, and hearing function. Review papers of high quality are also welcomed.
