TICTAC: Information and communication technologies for augmentative communication boards

Providing a communication aid is a complex issue which requires a deep insight on the theoretical backgrounds, the technological basis and, specially, the problems faced in bringing together the expectations and needs of users, teachers, speech therapists, families... and the perspectives and knowledge of linguists, teachers, engineers and speech pathologists. In this ongoing project we intend to develop and implement helpful tools for students with communicative impairment by means of communication boards based on icons, pictures or conventional characters.
