Communication allows people to exchange information and meaning. It is ubiquitously essential skill for people to interact with each other. “Complex communication needs” is a term that describes people who have little or no speech ability. These communication impairments may be caused by physical, sensory, cognitive, or environmental factors. Speech and cognitive impairments prevent people with complex communication needs from communicating in conventional ways. In addition to speech impairments, individuals may have multiple disabilities, including physical, vision, hearing, sensory, or cognitive impairments.The goal of this research is to understand and propose solutions for issues that people with receptive language problems commonly experience.
This research presents how the assistive technology and understanding languages with physical and computational method can help people with receptive language problems overcome the language barrier. This includes computer model that a software converts long, complex sentences to simple, easy-to-understand sentences and websites that offer information in the form of pictures, videos, and diagrams rather than text.
