Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We will investigate patients' objective evaluation of the introduction of the communication tool by practicing the communication tool five times with ALS patients who are able to communicate, and observing their psychological changes and text input speed over time.
Regarding character input practice, based on previous research by Aoki et al., which showed that students can improve by practicing around 600 characters (Aoki, 2005), we decided to practice 200 characters at a time five times. Examine each practice session to monitor progress and psychological changes.
