Abstract
Current technology provides new alternatives for developing communication skills in the non-vocal physically handicapped child. The purpose of this pilot project was to determine if pre-reading children could learn to formulate CV (consonant-vowel) and CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) word combinations through a speech synthesizer. Four children with mental ages between 3 - 0 and 3 – 6, progressed through a sound training program teaching word generation with and without an auditory model. Treatment procedures progressing from production of single phonemes to multisound levels are outlined. Results are described both in terms of progress during treatment sessions and performance on the Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test.
