Abstract :
This paper presents an on-going research about a new system of communication for people with cerebral palsy (CP) with athetoid problems. These people have gestural and speech difficulties; so they need help for communicating with people and systems. The system proposed is called ComMOB (COMmunication means for MOBility). Its user interface is based on pictograms to accelerate the input. Moreover, the aim is that this system is context sensitive.
