Funded Activity Summary

A multidisciplinary team of researchers aim to develop a unique, advanced, computer-based speech device that speech pathologists can use to assess and treat a variety of speech disorders. The device will record the location, timing and pressure of tongue contacts against the roof of the mouth (palate) during speech using innovative sensors embedded in an artificial plate placed over the roof of the mouth. State-of-the-art 3D graphics will be used to display tongue-to-palate contacts to both speech pathologist and patient.
