Abstract | Today Virtual Worlds offer possibilities for being adapted to several needs and can be applied to different areas such as education, entertainment, socialization and other fields, as well as in issues about speech disorders like dyslalia. Dyslalia is a problem that commonly affects in preschool, thus a virtual world may then be exploited to complement the therapy for children with speech disorders. The children with this disorder have problems like substitute, leave off, or change sounds in some phonemes or symphons, example given words that begin with two consonants: to say friend becomes fiend. The children may either leave out these sounds, not pronounce them clearly, or use a different sound in its place. The main goal of this paper is to present an alternative for supporting the treatment of children with dyslalia and how to combine traditional therapy with activities in virtual worlds. The paper addresses aspects of design of a virtual world that can be used to complement the work of the therapist and the therapy of these children for making activities in care centers, school or anywhere. We look at the challenge to develop a virtual world that includes activities of phonemes and symphons articulation, aim to be useful for children and therapists who assist in dyslalia speech treatment. Therefore, getting benefits offered by computer science for supporting these needs. |
