Abstract
In this paper we present some preliminary outcomes concerning the design of an email communication tool for persons with expressive aphasia. The purpose of our design is to make email accessible for aphasics. It is based on interviews with persons with aphasia and their partners and has been verified with a speech therapist. Our user studies confirm that aphasics find current email communication systems too challenging to use. The most obvious barrier is the lack of writing support. Based on these findings we designed an email application that should be simpler to use than existing solutions and that moreover supplies language support.
