ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to derive the field-based opinions and ideas for developing Korean voice output communication system and contents. Participants were 14 professionals who had experiences of AAC application for their students/clients, including 7 special education teachers, 2 professors, 1 parent, 2 speech therapists and 2 researchers. Focus group interviews were conducted for two sessions with the questions related to the AAC experiences and AAC contents/system requirements. The results were analyzed with two axis of AAC experience and AAC needs. Seven 7 themes(e.g., barriers, outcome, vocabulary, symbol) and 19 sub-themes were derived. Overall, AAC contents and system which can incorporate various user characteristics were emphasized as well as needs for symbols and vocabulary which can represent Korean language-specific features. The procedural efforts to ensure the reliability and validity of the data analysis were followed. Implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.
