title = "The usability of AAC in conversation: A case study of interaction between a child using AAC and her classmate",
abstract = "This paper presents findings from an analysis of conversational interaction between a young person with Cerebral Palsy using a voice output communication aid (VOCA) and her speaking peer. Using the principles and practices of Conversation Analysis (CA), the analysis reveals how the relationship between delays in the production of VOCA mediated turns and the ongoing sequential nature of turns in conversation provide a barrier for understanding VOCA mediated utterances. In particular, it is unilaterally initiated VOCA turns that are vulnerable to problematic understanding. As an apparently recurring feature of conversation involving AAC use, this problem is one against which the usability of AAC technologies can be evaluated.",
