ABSTRACT
Clinical intervention, progress measurement, and research play important roles in leading to successful outcomes for people who rely on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and/or assistive writing (AW) systems. The Language Activity Monitor (LAM) was developed to allow actual language activity to be the basis for clinical decision-making, research and outcomes measurement. The LAM records characters transmitted on the serial port of the AAC or AW device and adds a time stamp to each character or character string. The recorded information can be uploaded periodically to a computer for analysis.
