SPEECH THERAPY SYSTEM AND METHOD

A method for providing speech therapy includes the steps of selecting a problem speech sound and searching a database that houses a plurality of records. Each record contains a picture and a word associated with the word. Next a set of records is automatically generated from the plurality of records. Each record contains a word specific to the problem speech's sound. At least a portion of each record in the set of records is next automatically presented to a user sequentially on a display device, and the user is prompted to pronounce the displayed word. Finally, the pronunciation of each word is scored. The system includes hardware for carrying out the method, including a processor, display device, input device, and software resident on the processor adapted to access a database of records, present records to the user, and receive a score entered into the input device.
