Abstract
When a person, due to brain injury or other disease, suffers in his or her ability to speak, it becomes inherently cumbersome to share needs, emotions, and experiences through personal stories and social interaction. We report on our early design exploration to share everyday experiences by photos for people having expressive aphasia. We also introduce the concept of a multimodal narrative template to help persons with aphasia to reconstruct their experiences and hence promote face-to-face communication and social interaction from everyday activities.
