| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | In order to support communication of children with communication disabilities, their language and communication abilities are evaluated repeatedly in clinic by using certain language tests. Such paper-based tests, however, have several problems, such as dependence on tester's analytical ability and a gap between test results and observations in daily life. In an attempt to solve such problems, we previously developed a computer-based support system for communication ability evaluation, by utilizing a sequential usage log of our voice-output communication aid, VCAN. This study aims at assessing the system's performance by applying it to three persons with communication disabilities. Subjects are two boys with autism and an adult with intellectual disabilities, whose communication abilities were assessed by using the S-S test developed by the National Rehabilitation Center of Japan for comparison. Empirical results suggested that the proposed log analysis might be effective for supplementing and/or verifying S-S test-based qualitative evaluations. | |
