Naming practice for people with aphasia as a mobile web application

Published: 25 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

Bangagears is a new version of Banga, a smart phone application that supports word finding practice, a form of therapy for people with aphasia [1]. While Banga was implemented as a native application, a program specific to a particular kind of phone, Bangagears uses the emerging HTML5 technology to operate, in principle, on many different kinds of phones and other Web platforms, and to offer simpler development and deployment. Lessons from Bangagears will be useful to other developers of applications for people with disabilities
