Abstract

Rehabilitation of people with communication impairments is a socially important issue in Russia. Currently, there are no high-tech alternative and augmentative communication devices on the Russian market. On creation of such devices, a need arises for a model which structures any occurring communication impairment. The article sets out the structure of an alternative model of speech production developed on the basis of Levelt’s model of speech production. Practical application of the developed model is shown in the course of designing a high-tech platform for alternative and augmentative communication.
