  • Do-It-Yourself AAC: Co-Designing User-Programmable AI Communication Tools with People with Aphasia

    Jong Ho Lee, Stephanie Valencia · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

    Lee and Valencia explore how people with aphasia (PWA) can become designers of their own AI-powered augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools rather than users of rigid, pre-built systems. The authors note that aphasia, a language disorder typically resulting from…

  • visiBabble for Reinforcement of Early Vocalization

    Harriet Fell, Cynthia Cress, Joel MacAuslan, Linda Ferrier · 2003 · Proceedings of the 6th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '04)

    This paper presents visiBabble, a real-time system that detects syllable-like vocalizations in infant babbling and responds with brightly coloured animations as visual reinforcement. The system targets infants at risk for speech impairments due to conditions such as cerebral…

  • EVA, an Early Vocalization Analyzer: An Empirical Validity Study of Computer Categorization

    Harriet J. Fell, Linda J. Ferrier, Zehra Mooraj, Etienne Benson, Dale Schneider · 1996 · Proceedings of the Second Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '96)

    This paper from Northeastern University presents EVA (Early Vocalization Analyzer), a Macintosh-based software tool that automatically analyzes digitized recordings of infant vocalizations to support early identification of speech and language delays. The research is grounded in…
