An Improved Mouth Model for Speech Therapy

This thesis discusses speech therapy and ways to improve upon current interventions used. First, an in-depth analysis of mouth models used in speech therapy to treat speech disorders was performed. Areas where current models are insufficient are identified and explored. The engineering design process was followed to produce a mouth model that fills all of the gaps in current models. The methods that were used to create the prototype are discussed. Finally, the final product is analyzed in comparison to current models.
