| Abstract | A common problem in the disabled community is the high abandonment rate of assistive technology devices. For the non-verbal, their communication aids are often bulky and the user needs to be seated at a table or settled in a particular place to use it with ease. A wearable assistive/augmentative communication (AAC) button device was developed in conjunction with a cross-platform mobile application in order to explore communication aid capabilities and applications in more mobile settings, such as in therapeutic or recreational sports. Additionally, because we held small size as a distinctive design goal, we were able to somewhat gage where the users might be willing to wear the devices. An initial prototype was completed successfully, along with the Android platform version of the mobile application. After conducting four light user experience tests and an interview with an occupational therapist, it was determined that the project has the potential for a wider range of applications than initially determined, and will be developed further in the future. |
