This dissertation focuses on understanding the relationship between the design of computer interfaces and individuals with an impairment. We seek to explore how knowledge of an impairment can inform the design of systems for those with the impairment and those around them. As the design space of “individuals with impairments” is quite broad, we refine [...]

Designing Visualizations to Facilitate Multisyllabic Speech with Children with Autism and Speech Delays
The ability of children to combine syllables represents an important developmental milestone. This ability is often delayed or impaired in a variety of clinical groups, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and speech delays (SPD). Prior work has demonstrated successful use of computer-based voice visualizations to facilitate speech production and vocalization in children with [...]

Designing Visualizations to Facilitate Multisyllabic Speech with Children with Autism and Speech Delays [Video Showcase]
The ability of children to combine syllables represents an important developmental milestone. This ability is often delayed or impaired in a variety of clinical groups including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and speech delays (SPD). This video illustrates some of the features of VocSyl, a real-time voice visualization system to shape multisyllabic speech. VocSyl [...]

A Prototype of Pivot Searching
Imagine if you could conjure up a key piece of knowledge you had forgotten by having a computer summon everything you were seeing, hearing, and doing at the time to help jog your memory. Researchers in Illinois are now developing such technology, which will help people relive the past to search for lost data. The [...]

Clotho and Lachesis: Building, Optimizing and Validating Models to Predict Important Applications in a Real-World Context
When using the computer, each user has some notion that “these applications are important” at a given point in time. We term this subset of applications that a user values as high-utility applications. Identifying high-utility applications is a critical first step for Task Analysis, Time Management/Workflow Analysis, and Interruption research. However, existing techniques fail to [...]
