“…[41] describes the first web-based tool for technology-assisted speech therapy called "Telelogos" tested in Greece and the UK. The tool contains -amongst others-a series of tests that allow therapists to assess the phonological maturity of the child and analyze its phonological system and then decide on the best treatment for each client.…”

Abstract-Over the past decade speech and language therapy has taken an interesting turn towards the use of information communication technologies (ICTs) for diagnosis of disorders and delivery of therapy. In many cases ICTs have worked as assistive tools to therapists, while in others as sole providers of therapy, especially in remote areas. In this report we provide a brief overview of the most representative articles for applications and assistive technologies used for assessment and intervention purposes in Speech Therapy according to the type of disorders.

“…In the past, the major concern of course designers was that various e-learning technologies could not facilitate the level of interaction necessary for PBL, particularly asynchronous distance-education models (Mattheos, Schittek, Attstrom, & Lyon, 2001). However, recent advances in IT hardware and software technologies can now provide course designers with the synchronous interactive tools they need to effectively accommodate PBL and other collaborative learning methods (Glykas & Chytas, 2004). Powerful online communication tools now support learning environments that afford increasingly reliable and stable one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many text, audio and audio-visual interactions in real time.…”

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been shown to be effective for promoting student competencies in self-directed and collaborative learning, critical thinking, self-reflection and tackling novel situations. However, the need for face-to-face interactions at the same place and time severely limits the potential of traditional PBL. The requirements of space and for meeting at a specific location at the same time create timetabling difficulties. Such limitations need to be tackled before all potentials of PBL learning can be realized. The present study aimed at designing and implementing an online PBL environment for undergraduate speech/language pathology students, and assessing the associated pedagogical effectiveness. A group of eight PBL students were randomly selected to participate in the study. They underwent 4 weeks of online PBL using Adobe Connect. Upon completion of the experiment, they were assessed via a self-reported questionnaire and quantitative comparison with traditional PBL students based on the same written assignment. The questionnaire revealed that all participating students enjoyed online PBL, without any perceived negative effects on learning. Online PBL unanimously saved the students travel time to and from school. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in assignment grades between the online and traditional PBL groups, indicating that online PBL learning appears to be similarly effective as traditional face-to-face PBL learning.

“…The developed interfaces could be integrated into mobile devices [31]. The system could also be used as a medical tool for diagnosis and further treatment [32]. Further research is expected to be carried out to move this milestone even further.…”

Multimedia has been used creatively to entertain and educate, and can also be used for therapeutic and medical purposes. This paper addressed this issue by incorporating multimedia to design and develop an assistive device to help disabled children with speech impairments in mainstream education. The appropriate methodology for developing such an interface was investigated. Relevant multimedia, psychology, social and educational theories were taken into account. Based on this literature review, interfaces to enhance pronunciation were designed, developed and tested.
