Video Assisted Speech Technology to Enhance Motor Planning for Speech

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Apraxia of Speech

In brief

Nearly 3.5 million Americans are diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a communication disorder that causes skill limitations in the areas of language acquisition, sensory integration, and behavior. This lack of functional language ability limits conversation to its most basic parts, making daily tasks difficult for minimally to non-verbal individuals to achieve. iTherapy is developing the VAST platform, a personalized educational experience for students with ASD by creating a virtual reality-based video-modeling program to stimulate engagement and speech production practice, ultimately providing those with ASD an opportunity to enhance their quality of life by increasing their speech abilities which will enable them to build social networks and handle the events of daily life.
