People who suffer brain damage as a result of a stroke, head injury, or a disorder such as Parkinson's disease frequently develop difficulty in either speaking, writing, reading, or understanding the spoken language. As a result, the person's ability to communicate with his or her family and friends, and the community in general is seriously affected. Individuals who experience these speech and language disorders are treated by a speech pathologist who focuses on improving the person's ability to communicate. The treatment of these disorders is frequently long-term requiring speech pathology management beyond existing hospital care. For many people with these communication disorders, accessing speech pathology services after their discharge from hospital may be very difficult due to their physical difficulties, the distances they are required to travel, and the limited availability of speech pathologists in their local community. This project aims to overcome these access issues through the development of a telerehabilitation system that will enable speech pathologists to assess people with these speech and language difficulties across the Internet using videoconferencing. It is intended that this research will ultimately enable people with these types of communication difficulties to be assessed and treated within their own home or local community.

由于中风、头部受伤或帕金森病等疾病而遭受脑损伤的人经常在说话、写作、阅读或理解口语方面出现困难。因此，该人与家人和朋友以及整个社区沟通的能力受到严重影响。经历这些言语和语言障碍的人由言语病理学家治疗，他们专注于提高人的沟通能力。这些疾病的治疗通常是长期的，需要在现有的医院护理之外进行言语病理学管理。对于许多患有这些沟通障碍的人来说，由于他们的身体困难，他们需要旅行的距离以及当地社区语言病理学家的有限性，他们出院后获得语言病理学服务可能非常困难。该项目旨在通过开发一个远程康复系统，使语言病理学家能够利用视频会议通过互联网对有这些语言障碍的人进行评估，从而克服这些准入问题。这项研究的目的是最终使这些类型的沟通困难的人能够在自己的家中或当地社区进行评估和治疗。
