Assistive Technology

• Assistive technology (AT) is any tool that helps students with disabilities do things more quickly, easily or independently.

• It can be elaborate and expensive or simple and low-cost.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC:- includes all forms of communication,

other than oral speech

- is used to supplement existing speech, or replace speech that is not functional

Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC Systems- Unaided Communication System,

e.g. gestures, sign language, communication boards

- Aided Communication System,e.g. speech generating devices

AAC –Aided Communication System

Hardware:- Communication devices with

speech output- Electronic dictionary- PDA- Laptop computer / Tablet PC / UMPC

(with touchscreen access)

AAC –Aided Communication System

Software:- Electronic communication board software

e.g. Speaking Dynamically Pro (SDP), Electronic Communication Book (ECB)

- Text-to-Speech Systeme.g. 港韻TTS, CU Vocal

Case Studies

Use of AAC

LCWSituation:- English lesson, learning “Mode of Transportation”AAC System:- Tablet PC- SDP softwareAccess Mode:- Head-controlled Single-switch- CrossScanner software- Auto-scan function of specific software

Use of AAC

LST & CPHSituation:- Chinese Language & Culture lesson,

discussing an articleCPH- Aided VisionLST’s AAC System:- Tablet PC- Q9 Character Input System and 港韻TTS softwareLST’s Access Mode: - Head-controlled Single-switch- CrossScanner software

Use of AAC

WYMSituation:- Chinese Language lesson, learning rhetoric

AAC System:- UMPC- Q9 Character Input System and 港韻TTS software

Access Mode:- Keyboard- Mouse- Direct touchscreen selection

Use of AAC

AHKSituation:- English lesson, having peer interview

concerning “Leisure Activities”

AAC System:- Tech/Touch Communication Device- Onscreen keyboard and 港韻TTS software

Access Mode:- Head-controlled Single-switch- CrossScanner software

Use of AAC

LST & AHKAAC System:- Tablet PC & Tech/Touch Communication Device- Q9 Character Input System and 港韻TTS software

Access Mode:- Head-controlled Single-switch- CrossScanner software

Situation:- Home Economic lesson, discussing a recipe and

its nutritional value- Online chatting through MSN
