Abstract

There are speech troubles that can be a sign of speech disorders or speech sound disorders. Some causes include hearing loss, neurological disorders, brain injury, intellectual disabilities, and so on. It is therefore very important to include the speech therapy as part of the rehabilitation process for affected patients’ phonation. This chapter presents a study on the ways sound creation develops, aiming at creating an application to aid the therapy session. The solution presented is used to improve speech problems through playing games.
