Abstract(in English) | Language ability of children with communication disabilities is usually assessed by means of language tests.These clinical tests,however,have several limitations,such as l)dependence on physical and mental conditions of the day and 2) difficulty in assessing abilities of daily communication. Then,we focused on a sequential communication record of acommunication aid,VOCA,possibly including useful information compensating for results of conventional language tests.First,we decided analysis parameters extractable from the log of VCAN/1A developed in our laboratory by referring to "S-Stest" developed by the National Rehabilitation Center of Japan. Then,we developed a visualization system of extracted information on communication,such as 1)the number of use of each button as well as each category of button,2) operationhistory within every communication unit extracted and 3) all sequential records aniving at every communication button used.Empirical results using a VCAN/1A log of a male child with autism suggested that our support system could be efficient for evaluating his daily communication abilities. |
