We evaluated a means of increasing staff members' interactions with an individual with multiple disabilities through use of a voice output communication aid (VOCA). When activated, the VOCA allowed the individual to communicate through synthesized speech. Results indicated that staff members interacted with the individual more frequently when she had access to the VOCA, suggesting that VOCAs may represent an alternative to more traditional staff management programs for increasing interactions.
我们评估了一种通过使用语音输出通讯辅助设备(VOCA)来增加工作人员与一名多重残疾人士互动的方法。激活后,VOCA可使该名人士通过合成语音进行交流。结果表明,当该名人士能够使用VOCA时,工作人员与她互动得更频繁,这表明VOCA可能是增加互动的更传统员工管理计划的一种替代方案。
