| Popis: | Previous research identifies facilitators and barriers related to the use of Alternative and Augmentative Communication Systems, however, more evidence is needed to understand aspects related to introduction of such systems in an outpatient setting. This paper aims to analyze theses aspects by identifying the facilitators and barriers that comprise systems' use by aphasic people at a University Clinic in Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the collected data were analyzed based on qualitative techniques like open coding and constant comparison. In addition to the factors found in previous research, this study identified new factors such as: cost, infantilized systems and sentences' quality produced, that can be considered as facilitators or barriers in using AAC systems. The results of this research can be used to improve the current and new AAC systems. |
