1. THE DISABILITY EXPERIENCE CONFERENCE ROBOTS TO MOTIVATE YOUNGHYUN CHUNG

2. SPECIFIC AIMS 1. Develop a system of software and hardware for interfacing AAC devices and robots that allows multiple AAC devices to control the robot. 2. Design an AAC system user interface that combines robot control with spoken output. 3. To find the efficacy of collaborative robot system in terms of communication rate and collaboration rate.

5. GOALS AND MEASURES Operational goal of AAC was identified by SLP at the beginning 3 children in Group 5 were encouraged to interact with each other by making task-related comments or directing each other's robot control Weekly 30min sessions for 8 weeks

9. PROTOCOL Move the robot collaboratively to a goal Help each other and communicate using AAC or vocalizations SLP will provide a minimal assistant to complete the robot tasks, for instances, by prompting when they lost attention During the sessions, an investigator observes and collects data The robot control software on each child’s AAC device will collect data and speech language pathologists also collect data by hand annotation
