Sažetak
Rapid evolution of mobile devices enables the today’s user to access the content and technology previously reserved for multiple devices in one compact, portable package. The introduction and popularization of smartphones, tablets and ereaders changed the way that the users communicate, consume and create content. This paper examines the potential of using such devices for symbol-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication. We have proposed a model of an adaptive symbol-based AAC application for mainstream mobile devices. In respect of the requirements of the model we have examined technical possibilities and limitations of specialized and mainstream tablet devices available. Via a preliminary research of potential symbol-based AAC users in Croatia we have investigated the current state, needs and requirements regarding the use of digital AAC applications.
