Ultrasound Speech therapy stabilization
Improving the speech therapy experience.
This project is in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic and a multi-disciplinary team of students and faculty that are working to create effective and fun research tools to help children with speech disorders. They are researching the use of ultrasound imaging to provide visual biofeedback of the tongue during therapy to assist patients.
The team wants to improve and create a stabilization system that secures the probe underneath the chin correctly while improving the overall experience for patients.
