Glory Baker, Research Coordinator Fried-Oken, Ph.D Jeon Small, ABD, Research Associate Barry Oken, M.D., Neurologist Darlene Shultz, Research Assistant Carolyn Mills, Research Assistant Janice Staehely, Research Assistant
3 Goals for today s presentation Gain familiarity with AAC (augmentative and alternative communication); Understand the issues around AAC and dementia; Learn about current research being conducted on AAC and adults with moderate Alzheimer s disease.
4 What is AAC? Augmentative ti and Alternative ti Communication refers to any strategy, technique or tool that enhances, replaces, augments or supplements an individual s communication capabilities.
5 Augmentative Communication Approaches Speech Vocalization Gestures Eye gaze Body language Sign language Paper and pencil Communication books Communication boards and cards Talking toys Speaking computers Talking typewriters Voice output communication aids
6 Who is an AAC User? Anyone whose communication is adversely affected by an impairment in speech, language, cognition, and/or physical abilities.
7 Communication impairments leading to AAC use Physical impairments ALS (Lou Gehrig s Disease) Cerebral Palsy Spinal Cord Injury Parkinson s Disease Multiple Sclerosis Cognitive impairments Traumatic brain injury Mental retardation
8 Language Impairment Aphasia from a stroke Autism Sensory Impairment Blindness Deafness Fried-Oken, Ph D
9 AAC User Profiles The father with ALS who chooses to use a ventilator and be part of his family as his girls grow up. The person with ALS who chooses to work from home. The woman with Parkinson s s Disease in a nursing home near her grandkids. Fried-Oken, Ph D
10 The man with aphasia at home with his elderly wife. The young man with a closed head injury at a SNF. The daughter with a fast growing glioblastoma. The preacher with olivo-pontocerebellar degeneration (OPCD).
11 Individuals with dementia, traditionally, have not been listed as a clinical group that has benefited from AAC.
12 Premise of pairing AAC and dementia Pairing the external aid with familiar and spared skills (such as page turning, reading aloud) should maximize a person s s opportunity for success. These skills are based on intact procedural memory. The stimuli are relevant to a person s s ADLs.
13 So, what AAC strategies and aids should we consider for adults with dementia?
14 Electronic Devices Speech generating devices Synthesized speech output Digitized speech output Computers (Handheld, wearable, or desktop) Dedicated versus integrated devices Software purposes: Schedules Reminders Augmented input or output
15 AbleLink Handheld Visual Compass AbleLink WebTrak ERI Picture Planner
16 External memory aids: Notebooks, cards, communication boards, calendars, signs, timers, labels, color codes, tangible visual symbols)

20 Bourgeois research ( ) Made individualized memory wallets or cards Persons with mild AD Measured outcomes of conversations between trained caregivers (spouse, adult child, day staff) Wallets: Pictures and words for 3 topics: Family names Biographical information Daily schedules.
21 Results Increased the frequency of factual information; Decreased the rate of ambiguous, perseverative, erroneous, or unintelligible ibl utterances; Increased the conversational responsibility (turn taking) of person with dementia; Increased the number of on-topic statements during a conversation.
22 Now we know that non-electronic AAC options work. How can we examine these approaches further?
23 3 things to consider for each aid: 1. The messages or language in the aid; 2. How those messages are presented; 3. The output, or result, of selecting a message from the aid.
24 What messages should be chosen? Autobiographical memories might be accessible. Messages that affect the environment might be more meaningful. Message topics have been documented within the language of elders.
25 Some elder speak topics Svoboda, E. (2001). Autobiographical interview: Age-related differences in episodic retrieval. Department of Psychology. Toronto, University of Toronto: 107. Emotional Family Events Losing something important Birth of sibling Being embarrassed Someone s death An argument Child s first day of school Pet dying First house Being discipline at school Moving to new home Being lost Moving to new school Meeting a special friend First love Being chosen Wedding Wearing a special piece of clothing Holiday Engage First dance First child
26 Levels of representation Concept of apple Auditory-verbal WORD: say APPLE Visual-verbal Symbol: write APPLE The tatile symbol (The tactile Object of APPLE) APPLE The visual symbol: Black & white picture Colored drawing photograph photo
27 Symbol: visual or auditory representation for a referent Color Size Level of representation Iconicity: Ease of symbol recognition Transparent symbols- visually resemble their referents. Opaque symbols- visual relationship to referent is not obvious. DUCK Fried-Oken, Ph D
28 What will be the result of symbol selection? Communication partner validates message. Electronic voice output that labels the symbol.
29 Neither input mode (symbols) nor output mode (+/- presence of voice output) has been experimentally controlled in research on AAC devices to enhance communication for adults with AD.
30 Current funded research question: Do AAC tools improve the quantity or quality of conversation by individuals with moderate Alzheimer s disease?
31
32 Specific Aims 1. To compare the effects of different input modes in an AAC device on conversational skills of persons with moderate AD. Print alone Print + photographs Print + 3-dimensional miniature objects Photographs h alone 3-dimensional miniature objects alone Control condition (no board).
33 2. To compare the effects of output mode in an AAC device on the conversational skills of persons with moderate AD. Digitized speech output No speech output t
34 3. To determine whether the effectiveness of input modes on the AAC device varies with severity of language impairment of persons with moderate AD. Top half scorers on the Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory (FLCI) Bottom-half scorers on the Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory (FLCI)
35 4. To determine whether the effectiveness of output modes on the AAC device varies with severity of language impairment of persons with moderate AD. Top half scorers on the Functional Communication Inventory (FLCI) Bottom-half scorers on the Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory (FLCI)
36 Social Validation Aim: 5. To determine whether the effects of using an AAC device is viewed as successful by conversational partners. 6. To determine if the language symbols for each aid is translucent and represents the user s concepts.
37 Design for participants/board conditions Input/ Output No Boar d Print Print + only 2-D symbols Print + 3-D symbols 2-D symbols only 3-D symbols only Voice output No Voice Output Totals
38 Questions you should be asking by now: What do these AAC devices look like? What do they sound like? What are the different input modes (symbols?) How does a participant use the device?

42 Subject Criteria Diagnosis of probable or possible AD by a board certified neurologist; Clinical i l Dementia Rating (CDR) = 1 or 2; Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) = 5-18 within 6 months of enrollment in study (or we administer); Vision and hearing within functional limits; English as primary language.
43 Exclusion criteria History of other neurologic or psychiatric illness (no CVA, reported alcohol abuse, traumatic brain damage, reported recent significant psychological or speech/language disorder). Fried-Oken, Ph D

47 Method 1. Identify participant and randomly assign to condition; 2. Determine participant s preferred topic and vocabulary; 3. Develop communication device with randomly assigned symbols (+/-voice output); 4. Conduct 10 videotaped conversations: a) 5 conversations with assigned board; b) 5 conversations with no board (control); 5. Collect caregiver surveys on translucency of symbols. 6. Collect caregiver surveys on success of each conversation.
