Scientists have developed a pioneering technology that allows children with communication difficulties to interact more easily with parents and other carers, it was announced today. The software system, devised by teams at Aberdeen and Dundee universities and the charity Capability Scotland, is the first of its kind, and will help children with learning difficulties and disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, converse in a quicker and more interactive way with family and friends.
Sensors attached to wheelchairs, recording devices and swipe cards all gather information about a child’s movements and experiences at school during the day. 59. ______
"It allows a child to really tell a story," said Dr. Ehud Reiter, of the University of Aberdeen’s school of natural and computing sciences. " A lot of children are limited to using ’ yes’ or ’ no’ ,or very simple pictures, or phrases such as ’I’m hungry’. This allows them much better communication , which is great for them and their parents. "
Dr. Reiter said the children were fully in control of what information they shared and could edit what they say as and how they pleased. The computer system suggests topics for them to include in a narrative, such as lunch or swimming, but they choose what they wish to converse about, and can add comments such as "this was fun" and "that was boring".
The system has been tried out by pupils at Corseford School near Glasgow Sensors attached to the pupils’ wheelchairs have tracked their movements around the school, and the teachers have used swipe cards to tell the computer who the child has met and what activity they have been involved in. All the information is formed into a narrative that can be played back to parents when the child returns home. A recording device is also put into the system which allows people who come into contact with the children to be given more detailed information about events during the day.
Sue Williams, the head teacher at Corseford, said, "In the week we used the system, we found it very useful to pupils, teachers, doctors and parents alike. 60. ______"
The research teams now plan to expand the software system to facilitate conversations in other settings, and also to see how it could be used to support children with different types of disability or communication problems.
How does a disabled child usually express his ideas?
