Speech and language therapists' perception from special schools concerning computer-based therapy

This paper contains a preliminary study that explores the perception of speech and language therapists from special schools, Prahova County, towards computer-based therapy. Using documents' analyse and individualised interview, we have reached to the conclusion that all investigated speech and language therapists know the advantages and disadvantages of computer-based therapy, but they are used on an average level, more for documentation purposes than to correct speech activities or reduce language disorders of children with disabilities. More, they are using in an overwhelming proportion computer programs especially in a demonstrative purpose (in order to obtain first didactic degree) and less in current practice.
