Speech Sounds Carryover App

This invention is a generative AI app that provides corrective feedback during speech sounds carryover assignments. Carryover involves the consistent and correct use of newly acquired speech sounds, language structures, or communication strategies outside of the therapy environment. This involves the consistent use of newly acquired speech sounds and language structures. The app helps clinicians assign appropriate lessons for users who engage with age-appropriate content in story-based games. A supporting avatar provides targeted corrective feedback and gestural cues as needed to help elicit correct responses when responses are incorrect, positive praise for correct responses, and collects data on all responses for the speech therapist to track progress.

Background: 
Carryover in speech therapy is a client’s ability to transfer the skills and techniques learned during therapy sessions into everyday life at home, in school, or in social settings. It often requires collaboration between the therapist, the client, and their caregivers to create opportunities for practice and reinforcement in real-life situations. Often, parents and caregivers struggle to provide effective feedback when their children give incorrect responses and are unsure how to help them arrive at the correct one. This results in decreased opportunities for improvement, caregiver encouragement to practice, and the child losing interest in practicing or practicing alone without support. The Speech Sounds Carryover app helps bridge this gap to help carryover assignments facilitate skill transfer and ensure progress is being made.
