Speech Therapy Animation imaging Resource

项目摘要

Speech and Language Therapy training and practice is dominated by approaches involving listening to sounds, feeling the movements of the speech organs and verbal descriptions of how speech sounds are produced. However, recent research involving use of visual information about hidden speech organ movement in particular (e.g. tongue movement) has shown that visual approaches to speech therapy can be game changing, providing breakthroughs after years of conventional therapy. One of the main advantages of visual approaches is that viewing dynamic imaging of the hidden speech organs has been shown to be a more intuitive method of demonstrating target speech articulations, particularly for children, avoiding complex, abstract descriptions of how speech organs move.Several technologies can be used to reveal the hidden speech organs. Ultrasound Tongue Imaging (UTI), using standard medical ultrasound machines, has emerged as a promising therapy tool, allowing users to view target tongue movements and compare them to their own. Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides a more comprehensive view, showing all parts of the vocal tract, but is not suitable for use in day-to-day therapy. Costs, training and accessibility prevent the general use of these technologies in Speech Therapy clinics; however, clinical and phonetic researchers have collected a large number of UTI and MRI video recordings of both disordered and non-disordered speech. These represent a valuable training/therapeutic resource, but cannot be accessed in their current form, as most UTI/MRI datasets can be viewed only using expensive and technically-sophisticated specialist software. UTI and MRI reveal a greater variety of strategies for speech-sound production than are generally considered, and therefore provide a greater number of strategies for Clients to try. The benefit for Speech Therapy Clients is a better understanding of tongue movement and placement in speech-sound production, a more intuitive means of understanding vocal-organ movement and visual input, which can be particularly useful for those who learn more effectively through visual demonstration. This project will create bespoke resources for Speech Therapists' training and use in Clinic; the Speech Therapy Animation and imaging Resource (STAR). Existing vocal-tract-imaging recordings from six different clinical and non-clinical speech-research projects will be made available online, in the most accessible formats and user-friendly interfaces. Additionally, MRI recordings of speech will be used to create accurate, simplified vocal-tract animations for use by paediatric Speech Therapy Clients, in Clinic and at home. These animations will show how the vocal organs move in the production of speech sounds. STAR will consist of two Web sites; one for Speech Therapists' training, reference and continuing professional development, and the other for use by paediatric Clients and their families, in Clinic, and at home.The training site will contain vocal-tract animations and explanations of UTI and MRI technology and recording processes. It will contain much needed databases of UTI videos of disordered and non-disordered speech, showing a variety of speech-errors and disorders, as well as normative speech-sound production in a variety of English accents. The clinical site will contain clear and informative animations explaining how the vocal tract works and showing speech-sound production in different syllable positions. It will also contain interactive animated homework exercises to facilitate aspects of practise homework set by Therapists in Clinic. STAR will make available these resources at a time when the need for remote quality clinical teaching has never been greater. The research strand of our project will be to work with the SLT community and Clients, to assess how best to deliver remote and/or blended training and therapy, which meets the challenges of the current and post-COVID-19 environment

言语和语言治疗的训练和实践主要是通过听声音，感觉言语器官的运动和言语声音是如何产生的口头描述。然而，最近的研究涉及使用关于隐藏的言语器官运动的视觉信息，特别是（例如舌头运动）已经表明，视觉方法的言语治疗可以改变游戏规则，在多年的传统治疗后提供突破。视觉方法的主要优点之一是，观察隐藏的语音器官的动态成像已被证明是一种更直观的方法来展示目标语音发音，特别是对于儿童来说，避免了对语音器官如何移动的复杂，抽象的描述。超声舌成像（UTI），使用标准的医疗超声机器，已成为一种有前途的治疗工具，允许用户查看目标舌头运动，并将其与自己的舌头运动进行比较。磁共振成像提供了更全面的视图，显示了声道的所有部分，但不适合用于日常治疗。成本、培训和可访问性阻止了这些技术在言语治疗诊所的普遍使用;然而，临床和语音研究人员已经收集了大量的UTI和MRI视频记录，包括紊乱和非紊乱的言语。这些代表了一种有价值的培训/治疗资源，但无法以其当前形式访问，因为大多数UTI/MRI数据集只能使用昂贵且技术复杂的专业软件进行查看。UTI和MRI揭示了比通常认为的更多的语音产生策略，因此为客户提供了更多的策略来尝试。对语言治疗客户的好处是更好地理解舌头的运动和放置在语音生产，更直观的方式来理解发声器官的运动和视觉输入，这可能是特别有用的那些谁通过视觉演示更有效地学习。该项目将为语言治疗师的培训和临床使用创建定制资源;语言治疗动画和成像资源（星星）。来自六个不同临床和非临床语音研究项目的现有声道成像记录将以最方便的格式和用户友好的界面在线提供。此外，语音的MRI记录将用于创建准确、简化的声道动画，供儿科语音治疗客户在诊所和家中使用。这些动画将展示发音器官在产生语音时是如何移动的。星星将由两个网站组成;一个用于语言治疗师的培训、参考和继续专业发展，另一个供儿科客户及其家人在诊所和家中使用。培训网站将包含声道动画和UTI和MRI技术及录音过程的解释。它将包含非常需要的UTI视频数据库，包括无序和非无序语音，显示各种语音错误和障碍，以及各种英语口音的规范语音产生。临床网站将包含清晰和信息丰富的动画，解释声道如何工作，并显示不同音节位置的语音产生。它还将包含互动动画作业练习，以促进诊所治疗师设置的练习作业。星星将提供这些资源的时候，需要远程质量的临床教学从来没有更大。我们项目的研究部分将与SLT社区和客户合作，评估如何最好地提供远程和/或混合培训和治疗，以应对当前和后COVID-19环境的挑战
