Abstract

Communication disorders occur across the lifespan and encompass a wide range of conditions that interfere with individuals' abilities to hear (e.g., hearing loss), speak (e.g., voice disorders; motor speech disorders), and/or use language (e.g., specific language impairment; aphasia) to meet their communication needs. Such disorders often compromise the social, recreational, emotional, educational, and vocational aspects of an individual's life. This research examines the development and implementation of new software that facilitates multi-syllabic speech production in children with autism and speech delays. The VocSyl software package utilizes a suite of audio visualizations that represent a myriad of audio features in abstract representations. The goal of these visualizations is to provide children with language impairments a new persistent modality in which to experience and practice speech-language skills.
