Communication disorders occur across the lifespan and encom- pass a wide range of conditions that interfere with individuals’ abilities to hear (e.g., hearing loss), speak (e.g., voice disorders; motor speech disorders), and/or use language (e.g., specific lan- guage impairment; aphasia) to meet their communication needs. Such disorders often compromise the social, recreational, emo- tional, educational, and vocational aspects of an individual’s life. This research examines the development and implementation of new software that facilitates multi-syllabic speech production in children with autism and speech delays. The VocSyl software package utilizes a suite of audio visualizations that represent a myriad of audio features in abstract representations. The goal of these visualizations is to provide children with language impair- ments a new persistent modality in which to experience and prac- tice speech-language skills.
