ABSTRACT

This study aimed to review currently available research on augmented reality (AR) based speech-language therapy for individuals with communication disorders. AR is generally referred to as a system in which the user has a direct view of their environment and where a specially constructed device allows additional information or graphical elements to be blended with the real environment in the form of an overlay. AR-based speech-language therapy refers to speech-language therapy delivered via computer-simulation technology to improve speech and language abilities for children and adults with communication disorders. In addition, this paper addressed limitations of previous studies and benefits of AR-based speech-language therapy. Recent Findings Recent research reports suggest that AR-based speech-language therapy is a viable option for treating children and adults with speech-language disorders. However, most of the research studies were conducted without a rigorous experimental design. Additionally, the quality of technology is difficult to assess and application to real clinical practice is currently lacking. Future studies should be conducted with a rigorous experimental design and more advanced technology. Summary This paper has reviewed current evidence related to the effectiveness of AR-based speech-language intervention for children and adults with speech-language impairment. This paper discussed limitations of the current research and benefits of AR-based speech-language therapy
