Consonantal phonation rehabilitation

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative system for tablets aiming at facilitating and supporting speech therapists and teachers towards the diagnosis and treatment of vocalization problems with particular interest in consonantal phonemes. As such, cloud technologies provide the appropriate place to host a platform supporting the system with the associated features due to the wider development and distribution for tablets cloud computing provides. Up to now, related resources presentation and utilisation for these vocalization difficulties are limited to pictograms and static web pages developed by speech therapists. Therefore, it is impossible to take advantage of their full potentiality for professional and practical Web and even less cloud-based environments utilisation.
