This study compared first graders' attitudes toward a peer who used an iPad(®)-based speech-generating device (SGD) versus a non-electronic AAC system, as well as preferences regarding the systems. In all, 115 first graders were randomly assigned to view a video of a peer using either the SGD or the non-electronic system. Participants then completed the Assessment of Attitudes Toward Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AATAAC) and answered preference questions about the systems. Results showed that attitudes toward the peer did not vary significantly as a function of the type of AAC system the peer used. Girls tended to have more positive attitudes than boys toward the peer who used AAC. A majority of participants preferred the SGD for their peer's and for their own use.
本研究比较了一年级学生对使用基于 iPad 的言语生成设备 (SGD) 和非电子 AAC 系统的同伴的态度，以及对这些系统的偏好。共有 115 名一年级学生被随机分配观看一段使用 SGD 或非电子系统的同伴的视频。参与者随后完成了增材和替代沟通评估 (AATAAC)，并回答了有关系统偏好的问题。结果表明，同伴使用的 AAC 系统类型对其态度没有显著影响。女孩对使用 AAC 的同伴的态度比男孩更积极。大多数参与者更希望他们的同伴和他们自己使用 SGD。
