Building a Computer-Mediated Communication Community for Neurogenic Disorder Interventions

The Computer-Mediated Communication Community (CMCC) aims to enhance communication for individuals with acquired neurogenic disorders by utilizing web-based and telecommunications technologies. CMCC provides social and communicative opportunities for adults with conditions like aphasia, right hemisphere syndrome, and traumatic brain injury, connecting them with their families, caregivers, and professionals. The initiative includes community-driven resources such as discussion groups, continuing education for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), and access to supportive technology, fostering a vibrant healthcare community.

  1. Developing a Computer-Mediated Communication Community (CMCC):Re-Imagining Speech-Language Intervention for Individuals with Acquired Neurogenic Communication Disorders Julie A. Hengst Chip Bruce, Adele Proctor

  2. CMCC Uses Web-based & Telecommunications Technologies to: bring social & communicative opportunities to individuals isolated by communication disorders use the affordances of computer-mediated communication to scaffold successful communicative interactions amplify therapeutic effects of direct treatment by by bringing CMCC into clinical spaces

  3. CMCC for Adults Managing Communication Disorders • Adults with mild to moderate-severe: • Aphasia • Right Hemisphere Syndrome • Traumatic Brain Injury • Family, friends, caregivers • Professionals • Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) • Student SLPs

  4. Technology Application • Build on existing software & hardware for: • Clinical Sites • CMCC Labs—community/ home sites • Supported Access to: • CMCC Gateway • CMCC Calendar & Announcements • Members’ Home Pages & Blogs • Threaded Topic-Specific Discussion Groups • Professional (SLP) Continuing Education Site • Webzine • Chat Rooms • Email, regular mail, telephone • Video Conferencing, FTF meetings

  5. Target Outcomes for CMCC • Create a virtual community directed to the needs of individuals managing aphasia, RHS, TBI • Re-connect communicatively isolated individuals to social & communicative worlds • Social support • Information gathering • Communicative opportunities • Develop new SLP interventions using web-based & telecommunication technologies • Identify supports needed for accessing CMCC • Adapt existing (or develop new) software & hardware • Identify training & ongoing support needs

  6. Community Technology Centers (ESLARP) CMCC draws on Community Inquiry Labs (CILs)

  7. CIL—Supporting Research on Telerehabilitation • Using CIL as a model to support researcher communities and ongoing inquiry into telerehabilitation • Adapting CIL to address the special needs of research in telerehabilitation
