| Streszczenie: | Abstract
With the burgeoning array of voice-activated, intelligent personal assistants (IPA), repurposing these products for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become increasingly possible. This study aims to determine the feasibility of speech-language pathologists (SLP) delivering hands-free, just-in-time (JIT) visual content via the Echo Show™, a voice-activated IPA with a 7-in. touchscreen that displays graphic content (e.g., photographs, videos, text). The following questions were explored: (1) Can SLPs use a carrier phrase consistently to retrieve visual content on the Echo Show™?, (2) Is the Echo Show™ able to accurately retrieve personalized visual content?, and (3) Do SLPs respond positively to using the Echo Show™ as a potential clinical tool?. Outcomes provide preliminary evidence for the feasibility of SLPs using the Echo Show™ as a potential clinical tool to retrieve personalized visual content. Results will be discussed in terms of clinical implications and use of the Echo Show™ with individuals with ASD.
