ABSTRACT
The rate at which a person who relies on AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) can make choices from an array determines the speed of communication. Automated language activity monitoring (LAM) tools allow the measurement of selection rate based on logged data generated by actual AAC system operators. A method for measuring selection rate based on spelling speed is presented. Implications are significant for clinical assessment and intervention.
