“…Another game which has been designed for this purpose is DiDuDa, which can treat children's hearing loss or oral language problems if the problem has been diagnosed at an early age [11]. Another approach uses a voice recognition system in a digital game with two different methods in English and Spanish to help children with oral language difficulties [26]: the first one is Dynamic Time Warping or DTW that is an algorithm and measures the similarity between two sequences and the second one SPHINX4 is a voice recognition system.…”

Electronics and Computer Engineering"Creativity, problem solving, critical and analytical thinking, decision making, risk taking, all found in game-based learning.". Mark Grundel A Serious Game for Children with Speech Disorders and Hearing ProblemsNahid Nasiri AbstractSpeech impediment affecting children with hearing difficulties and speech disorders requires speech therapy and much practice to overcome. In fact, speech therapy via serious games gives an opportunity to children with speech disorders and hearing problems to overcome their problems. As far as children are more inclined to play games, so we intend to learn them by entertainments like serious games. In this thesis, we have designed and implemented a serious game that can be used both as a therapy and as a tool to measure the performance of children with speech impediments in which children will learn to speak specific words that they are expected to know before the age of 7. And then we will teach them how to make sentences. The game consists of three steps. The first step provides information for parents or therapists to decide if their child needs speech therapy or not. In the second step, the child starts to learn specific words while playing the game. The third step aims to measure the performance of the child and evaluate how much the child has learned at the end of the game. The game has an avatar which can be controlled by the child through speech, with the objective of moving the avatar around the environment to earn coins. The avatar is controlled by both voice commands such as Jump, Ahead, Back, Left, Right, and arrow keys of the keyboard. The child will be guided by an arrow during the game instead of getting help from a therapist or a teacher to guide the child to the next goal. This allows the child to practice longer hours, compared to clinical approaches under the supervision of a therapist, which are time-limited. Our preliminary performance measurements indicate an improvement of 40% for children who play our game at least 5 times and a specific period of time.

“…These children generally use cochlear implants and need to develop several speech abilities such as elementary productions (sounds, vowels or phonemes) or complex productions (spontaneous speech). In this context, Loaiza et al [13] introduced the use of a video game based on AVT to provide support in voice interaction and reinforcement of voice production. Moreover, Alamoudi et al [14] presented an interactive multimedia program for AVT in Arabic language, providing exercises aimed to improve perceptual skills in children with auditory-related problems and learning difficulties.…”

“…Otra propuesta interesante en el área de rehabilitación del habla es el proyecto creado por el Instituto para Niños Ciegos y Sordos del Valle del Cauca, el cual está basado en un prototipo de videojuego y se centra en terapia auditivo-verbal (Loaiza et al, 2013). El videojuego cuenta con un sistema de interacción que realiza reconocimiento de voz en conjunto con la retroalimentación visual; está dirigido a niños con discapacidad auditiva y se pretende que este prototipo funcione sin la ayuda presencial de un terapista cualificado.…”

“…Además, esta herramienta toma en cuenta el aprendizaje de las consonantes d, t, n, s y l a través de la narración de cuentos, de manera que el niño aprende mientras se divierte. El progreso del participante se evalúa en el propio juego, con el fin de ofrecer ejercicios de forma consecutiva (Loaiza et al, 2013). Este videojuego propone un esquema que permite la interacción entre diferentes actores, tales como el niño o paciente, el terapista y sus familiares.…”

En este trabajo se presenta un nuevo enfoque para proporcionar soporte en el aprendizaje del código fonético (terapia del lenguaje) usando como apoyo las TIC (tecnologías móviles). Nuestra propuesta se puede utilizar en las sesiones de terapia con los niños que sufren trastornos del habla y/o patologías asociadas (parálisis cerebral, autismo, etc.) o como una herramienta para ayudar a tratar las dificultades en la producción de habla que presentan niños de escuelas regulares. Para determinar las dificultades que presentan los niños en la articulación se emplean los tests de articulación espontánea y repetitiva y se automatizan las tareas de registro de actividades, creación de reportes individuales y la generación de planes de trabajo. A fin de analizar las potencialidades de este tipo de herramientas de apoyo, se han realizado pruebas con 32 niños que sufren diversos trastornos y asisten a centros de educación especial en Cuenca-Ecuador.
