Abstract

Two multimodal speech teaching and training programs have been developed for 6-10 years old hearing handicapped children. The first program is “Now I know already what its name is”. The main menu has eight topics. For example school, Christmas, Eastern, garden, summer, in the hospital and so on. In the sub menu of a topic there are two other sub menus. The painting and the talking sub menus. Every talking submenu has a cartoon like presentation. The second program has been developed during the last school year and has been prepared to increase the vocabulary of the school children. The main menu has five sub-menus: vocabulary, one item that is not in place, a fairy-tale, painting, and a short description for the teacher how to use the program. The task of both multimedia software is to teach the everyday words.
