Current research projects center on:
|
|
|
- Dysarthric speech recognition
- AAC in the Intensive Care Unit
- AAC to enhance patient-nurse communication
- AAC and End of Life communication
- Eye gaze communication systems
- Software design for individuals with anomia and those on the autism spectrum
- Visual supports for persons on the autism spectrum
- Two way video modeling for persons on the autism spectrum
- Virtual sound environments for the deaf and hard of hearing. In conjunction with the Programa habilitante de audiología y la Programa para sordos y pacientes con dificultades auditivas, we are developing a computer software program that introduces a visual prompt, such as a flash on the screen, for children with hearing disorders. Such a program will make the thousands of educational software programs that are available for the general public, finally accessible to the hearing-impaired.
