Abstract:

Today, part of the world's population has an impairment in speaking or being able to communicate normally in their daily lives. In addition, a large percentage of those affected are children. Technology and computers play an important role in these types of problems that many people suffer from. Therefore, the use of speech therapy applications or systems helps the child to reduce treatment time. The research aims to identify the best computer tools and technologies and how they influence the evolution of speech therapy for children with speech disorders or speech problems. For the research, a bibliographic review was conducted in different databases such as IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect where 49 scientific articles were collected from 2005-2020. Likewise, key words were used to carry out a search corresponding to our topic of study, thanks to which we were able to collect the necessary amount of information to nourish the question posed. Finally, it was demonstrated that the use of mobile applications with a videogame-related subject matter is able to maintain the infant's active practice of speech therapy, reducing its treatment by up to half the time.
