Preliminary evaluation of 2 related computer-based speech training and practice aids for profoundly deaf children was conducted. The Speech Training Station (STS) uses both acoustic and physiological transducters for assessment and training in a school of clinic. The Speech Practice Station (SPS) uses the acoustic signal, and was designed primarily for use in the home. A series of games and activities was implemented on the 2 systems. Use of the STS was evaluated by 2 speech clinicians during a 15-month period. Fifteen children were subjects in the evaluation. The aid was found to be easily incorporated into clinic activities and useful for diagnosis and therapy. The SPS was evaluated during a 1-to-2-week period, during which it was placed in the homes of 5 profoundly deaf children. Using an activity log and questionnaire completed by the childrens' parents, usage statistics and impressions were obtained. Potential value and problems with such aids are discussed.
对两款与计算机相关的、针对重度失聪儿童的语音训练及练习辅助工具进行了初步评估。语音训练站（STS）在学校诊所中使用声学和生理传感器进行评估和训练。语音练习站（SPS）使用声学信号，主要设计用于家庭使用。在这两个系统上开展了一系列游戏和活动。两名言语治疗师在15个月的时间里对语音训练站的使用情况进行了评估。15名儿童参与了此次评估。结果发现，该辅助工具易于融入诊所活动，对诊断和治疗很有用。在1至2周的时间里对语音练习站进行了评估，在此期间，它被放置在5名重度失聪儿童的家中。通过儿童家长填写的活动日志和问卷，获得了使用统计数据和相关印象。文中讨论了此类辅助工具的潜在价值和问题。
