Beckmeyer, Cynthia S. Speech Therapy visual Alzheimers image gestural recognition communication This study implements recognizable visual images into a system that can be useful to subjects who have difficulty communicating with their caregivers. Through both qualitative and quantitative research methodology, data was gathered to determine the most basic communication frustrations experienced between caregiver and subject and which style of imagery is most easily recognizable. These identifiable images are then introduced to Alzheimer's patients to test recognition levels and assist in basic communication needs. I theorize that by offering visual prompts, subjects will use gestures to communicate. This tool, offering choice and validation, can improve the comfort, care and well-being of individuals with dementia and ease communication frustrations with caregivers. 2013-10-14 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367927393 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1367927393 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
