ABSTRACT
Cooking is a daily activity for many people. However, traditional text recipes are often prohibitively difficult to follow for people with language disorders, such as aphasia. We have developed a multi-modal application that leverages the retained ability of aphasic individuals to recognize image-based representations of objects, providing a presentation format that can be more easily followed than a traditional text recipe. Through a systematic approach to developing a visual language for cooking, and the subsequent case study evaluation of a prototype developed according to this language, we show that a combination of visual instructions and navigational structure can help individuals with relatively large language deficits to cook more independently.

Participatory design with proxies: developing a desktop-PDA system to support people with aphasia
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we describe the design and preliminary evaluation of a hybrid desktop-handheld system developed to support individuals with aphasia, a disorder which impairs the ability to speak, read, write, or understand language. The system allows its ...
Considerations for designing technology with and for persons with aphasia
OzCHI '14: Proceedings of the 26th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference on Designing Futures: the Future of DesignThis paper provides the lessons learned from two design research projects, which deal with designing technology with and for persons with aphasia. We faced several challenges while conducting usability studies, recruiting aphasic individuals and ...
The challenges in adopting assistive technologies in the workplace for people with visual impairments
OzCHI '18: Proceedings of the 30th Australian Conference on Computer-Human InteractionThere are many barriers to employment for people with visual impairments. Assistive technologies (ATs), such as computer screen readers and enlarging software, are commonly used to help overcome employment barriers and enable people with visual ...
