具有复杂通信需求的个人通常使用替代接入技术来控制他们的增强和替代通信(AAC)设备、他们的计算机和移动技术。虽然有一系列的访问设备可用，但仍然存在许多挑战，特别是对于那些具有严重电机控制限制的设备。对于一些人来说，访问选项可能不容易获得，或者访问本身可能不准确和令人沮丧。对于其他人，可以使用，但只有在最佳条件和支持下才能使用。迫切需要为严重运动障碍的个人开发新的选择，并利用现有技术来提高效率、增加准确性和减少接触的疲劳。本文描述了与新的和新兴的接入技术有关的以人为中心的研究和开发活动，特别侧重于患有后天神经系统疾病的成年人。
Individuals with complex communication needs often use alternative access technologies to control their augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, their computers, and mobile technologies. While a range of access devices is available, many challenges continue to exist, particularly for those with severe motor-control limitations. For some, access options may not be readily available or access itself may be inaccurate and frustrating. For others, access may be available but only under optimal conditions and support. There is an urgent need to develop new options for individuals with severe motor impairments and to leverage existing technology to improve efficiency, increase accuracy, and decrease fatigue of access. This paper describes person-centred research and development activities related to new and emerging access technologies, with a particular focus on adults with acquired neurological conditions.
