Abstract

Augmentative and Alternative Communication(AAC) is the widespread supporting plan to solve the communication problem of the people with communication disorder. AAC means various types of non-verbal communication methods that are used to augment or substitute the communications of using speech. With the increasing number of potential Korean AAC users, the demands for AAC are also increasing. In spite of the increasing demands, AAC is not being actively and practically used. In this paper, we implemented a web-based AAC board making system, where the board-makers (special educators and speech therapists) can create and share the customized boards to help the board-users (people with communication disorder). The web-based AAC board making system contributes to the application of AAC in many societies, such as hospitals, schools, companies, or anywhere the AAC intervention is needed.

보완대체의사소통(AAC)은 의사소통의 어려움을 해결하는 광범위한 지원책으로 구어를 이용한 의사소통을 보완하거나 대신하기 위하여 사용되는 여러 가지 형태의 비구어적 의사소통 방법이다. 우리나라의 잠재적인 AAC 수요자가 늘어가면서 AAC에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있으나 실질적인 활용이 활발하게 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문은 웹을 기반으로 하여 제작자 그룹 간 의사소통 판을 제작하고 공유하며 판 사용자가 의사소통 판을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있도록 하는 의사소통 판 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 시스템을 통하여 병원, 학교, 직장 등 여러 환경에서의 의사소통 판의 활용에 기여하고자 한다.
