Designing Assistive Technology Study
Designing Assistive Technology for Individuals with Pragmatic Conversational Difficulties
This research project aims to design software that assists people who have difficulties engaging in social conversation, as a result of diagnosed pragmatic language difficulties.
Participants Are Wanted Who:
- have been diagnosed with pragmatic language difficulties, leading to difficulties with engaging in social conversations with others
- are aged 18 years or over
- are proficient in reading English, and
- DON’T have difficulties with understanding syntax and grammar.
Participants will be interviewed in two sessions via virtual meeting (with the first session about 30 to 40 minutes long, and the second session about 30 to 60 minutes long) to provide input towards the design of the software.
- You may be asked questions about how difficulties with social conversation impacts on your daily life.
- You will be offered an electronic gift voucher valued at $50 after the first interview session, and another electronic gift voucher valued at $75 after the second interview session, to compensate you for your time.
