ABSTRACT:

Augmented conversations are interactive. In a pilot study, we analyzed the transcripts of students with cerebral palsy describing pictures to their therapists. Described herein are some of the patterns observed during these interactions, and how they may reflect more general features in augmented communication. We suggest that some of these patterns should be modelled within future intelligent AAC systems.
