Computer Activities for Those with Speech and Language Difficulties?

Date: Mon, 2. November 2009 15:05:17

An anonymous reader writes "My girlfriend is training to be a speech and language therapist here in the UK (speech pathologist in the US). A number of clients are guys who enjoy playing computer games, and for a variety of reasons some have no incentive to try and improve their speech. The issue is it can obviously inhibit options for jobs/other aspects of life etc. I was trying to think of fun computer based activities for those with speech and language difficulties that encourage individuals to speak and furthermore to speak with greater clarity. Or games/activities that might encourage them to do more speech work. The first options that sprang to mind were the online games with team speak/team talk for those with mild difficulties. The sampling/accent issue might force them to speak with greater clarity or wish to have that ability. Obviously, they can just type. Any thoughts?"pa href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/11/01/2145208/Computer-Activities-for-Those-with-Speech-and-Language-Difficulties?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/11/01/2145208"/a/ppa href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/11/01/2145208/Computer-Activities-for-Those-with-Speech-and-Language-Difficulties?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tCowJ4MjxpoEKg0YiRwPhEN4PUU/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tCowJ4MjxpoEKg0YiRwPhEN4PUU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tCowJ4MjxpoEKg0YiRwPhEN4PUU/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/tCowJ4MjxpoEKg0YiRwPhEN4PUU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/VAtRYTj9n9g" height="1" width="1"/
