Abstract
This paper discusses the experiments used in the design and development of assistive technology interfaces for children with phonological disorders and answering the research question should there be a group of interaction paradigms or one novel interaction paradigm that can be personalised, to enhance the performance of pronunciation skills for children with speech impairments? This research question is tested against an artifact designed and developed to address the need for an assistive device to rehabilitate children with phonological disorders.
