Research + Evidence

We are seeking Occupational Therapists (OTs) to participate in a research study about voice assistant technology (VAT) like Amazon Alexa for individuals with cognitive-communication disabilities.  Please share this opportunity with interested OTs! The survey link is below.

This study, led by Yao Du at USC's Department of Speech-Language Pathology, involves:

• 7-minute Survey: Share your perceptions and use of VAT.  Participants can enter a drawing for $10 or $50 gift cards.

• Paid Focus Group (60 minutes):  Select OTs will be invited to discuss designing VAT for this population.

• Free Virtual Training: Adults with cognitive-communication disabilities can learn to use Alexa for daily living activities.
