The study examines an AAC app (EasyVSD) that provides visual scene displays (VSDs), JIT vocabulary programming, and speech output. Using a single-participant, multi-baseline single-case design across baseline, intervention, and maintenance, it evaluates effects on communication turn frequency, available vocabulary, and concepts

Hintz Family Endowed Chair in Children’s Communicative Competence\u003Cbr>Jessica Currall, AAC Research Coordinator\u003Cbr>The Pennsylvania State University Communication Sciences and Disorders |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Vocabulary selection and programming\u003Cbr>• Traditionally AAC technologies\u003Cbr>• Require pre-programing of vocabulary.\u003Cbr>• Are time consuming to program.\u003Cbr>• Cannot be quickly programmed in the moment of an interaction.\u003Cbr>• As a result, young children with CCN\u003Cbr>• May not have access to the vocabulary that they need or want in daily interactions\u003Cbr>• Are restricted in their vocabulary learning within social interactions\u003Cbr>• Are limited from fully participating in their environment. |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Purpose of Current Study\u003Cbr>• Despite the potential benefits of AAC apps that support JIT programming, to date there has been minimal research to investigate the effects.\u003Cbr>• Therefore the goal of this study was to:\u003Cbr>• Investigate the effects of an AAC app (EasyVSD) that provided VSDs, just in-time (JIT) programming, and speech output on the communication of young children with CCN. |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Young children with CCN\u003Cbr>• Children with complex communication needs (CCN) may have a range of disabilities that compromise their ability to effectively use natural speech (Light & Drager, 2007) .\u003Cbr>• They require access to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to enhance their communication.\u003Cbr>• AAC interventions positively impact\u003Cbr>• Participation\u003Cbr>• Communication\u003Cbr>• Vocabulary development of young children with CCN. |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Improving AAC technologies /apps\u003Cbr>• There is an urgent need for AAC technologies /apps that are:\u003Cbr>• easily adaptable to the needs and interests of young children with CCN\u003Cbr>• enhance children’s vocabulary learning and language acquisition more effectively\u003Cbr>• support just-in-time (JIT) programming of vocabulary asthe need or interest arises during daily interactions with young children with CCN |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Research Questions\u003Cbr>1. What are the effects of mobile technology with anAAC app that provides VSDs, JIT programming, and speech output on the frequency of communication turns expressed by children with CCN?\u003Cbr>2. What are the effects of the AAC app on the vocabulary available to children with CCN?\u003Cbr>3. What are the effects of the AAC app on the concepts expressed by the children? |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Mobile technology and AAC apps\u003Cbr>• Mobile technology is being utilized increasingly & is preferred by many individuals who use AAC & their families (McNaughton & Light, 2013) .\u003Cbr>• Young children benefit from AAC apps on mobile technology that utilize visual scene displays.\u003Cbr>• VSDs are photos of meaningful and motivating experiences within the child’s daily life\u003Cbr>• E.g. , playing a tickle game with dad, going to the store with mom\u003Cbr>• Relevant vocabulary is programmed as “hotspots”within the VSD |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| JIT programming of vocabulary\u003Cbr>• AAC apps that support JIT programming allow partners to\u003Cbr>• Capture photos as VSDs quickly and easily\u003Cbr>• Add vocabulary as hotspots during daily interactions with young children with CCN.\u003Cbr>• JIT programming allows partners to\u003Cbr>• respond to their children’s interests in the moment\u003Cbr>• capitalize on teachable moments throughout the day\u003Cbr>• ensure that children with CCN have access to the vocabulary that they need and want throughout the day |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Methods\u003Cbr>• This poster presents the results from a single participant, a girl, age two years nine months, with pontocerebellar hypoplaisia\u003Cbr>• The current study is from a larger study investigating the effects of the AAC app on the language and communication development of young children with CCN. |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| Research design\u003Cbr>• The larger research utilized a single ","cbCairoINK8JBvZc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairoINK8JBvZc","pdf",304731,"English","# Background and Rationale\n## Vocabulary selection and traditional AAC technologies\n## Purpose of the current study\n## Young children with CCN\n# Technology Approach\n## Improving AAC technologies/apps\n## Mobile technology and AAC apps\n## JIT programming of vocabulary\n# Study Design\n## Research questions\n## Methods\n## Research design\n## Procedures\n# Participant and Data Collection","[{\"question\":\"What does the EasyVSD AAC app provide in this study?\",\"answer\":\"It provides visual scene displays (VSDs), just-in-time (JIT) vocabulary programming, and speech output to support communication in daily interactions.\"},{\"question\":\"What research questions does the study address?\",\"answer\":\"It examines effects on communication turn frequency, the vocabulary available to children with CCN, and the concepts expressed by the children.\"},{\"question\":\"How is JIT programming implemented for vocabulary during interactions?\",\"answer\":\"Partners capture photos quickly as VSDs and add relevant vocabulary as hotspots during play and everyday moments as the child’s interests arise.\"}]","JUST-IN-TIME TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT COMMUNICATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN WITH COMPLEX COMMUNICATION NEEDS - Study Methods | PDF",1790635119]
