The purpose of Phase I is to demonstrate the feasibility of a personal computer-based system for speech practice at home by severely/profoundly deaf children. This system is to be used in conjunction with a school/clinic system. Both systems are currently under development (Bernstein, Ferguson & Goldstein, 1986 [NINCDS NS-4-2372]). Severely/profoundly deaf children cannot achieve intelligible speech without long term intensive speech therapy. The home speech training system is designed to give practice and help achieve carryover from therapy, an effect difficult to achieve with conventional methods. Work will involve: 1) prototype production of a speech data acquisition system on printed circuit boards; 2) development of training games involving spectral (vowel), intensity, duration, and voice pitch parameters; 3) analysis of vocalizations; and 4) evaluation of interactions between the main computer and co-processors. Phase II will expand the number of training games for the home and school systems, carry out an evaluation program of both systems in terms of their effects on speech communication of deaf children, and update the hardware configuration in terms of the "then state of the art". Commercial application of successful training systems will serve to improve the progress of deaf children.

第一阶段的目的是证明个人的可行性 基于计算机的系统在家中，通过严重/深刻地在家中 聋子的孩子。 该系统将与 学校/诊所系统。 这两个系统目前都在开发 （Bernstein，Ferguson＆Goldstein，1986 [NINCDS NS-4-2372]）。 严重/深刻的聋哑儿童无法获得可理解的演讲 没有长期强化言语疗法。 家庭演讲培训 系统旨在提供实践并帮助实现结转 治疗，常规方法难以实现这一效果。 工作 将涉及：1）语音数据采集系统的原型生产 在印刷电路板上； 2）开发涉及的培训游戏 光谱（元音），强度，持续时间和语音音高参数； 3） 发声分析； 4）评估 主计算机和联合处理器。 第二阶段将扩大数量 为家庭和学校系统培训游戏，进行评估 两种系统的程序都在对语音交流的影响方面 聋哑儿童，并根据 “然后是最新的”。 成功培训的商业应用 系统将有助于改善聋哑儿童的进步。
