Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis brings various communication disorders. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies can provide effective solutions but require ongoing support from the multidisciplinary team. We planned a repeating half-day training program on communication support and delivered it to healthcare students at 4 Japanese universities. We investigated the difference in perceived burden of using AAC between “Experienced” participants who had completed training 6 months prior and “Beginner” participants using AAC for the first time, as revealed in their written comments left after AAC use. KH Coder data mining software was used to identify “characteristic” words in the comments. Fifty-eight participants (completing 105 training sessions) participated in the program, The text mining revealed that “eyestrain” was less frequently expressed by Experienced participants than by Beginners, suggesting that a single prior AAC training experience could reduce the burden of use.
