EXPANDING COMMUNICATION BOUNDARIES: UTILIZING VR AND AR THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH SPEECH DISORDERS
Keywords:
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Speech Therapy, Language DevelopmentAbstract
This article explores the potential of VR and AR technologies in enhancing language development and communication abilities in children with speech disorders. These technologies offer a more engaging, interactive, and secure environment, making the therapeutic process more effective than traditional methods. Future challenges include ensuring access to technology and investigating the long-term efficacy of these interventions.
