MGH Institute of Health Professions one of my beloved alma-maters. Thank you for the wonderful article about our work at Say It Labs. As one my most revered professors from MGH, the great dr. Charles Haynes once said, "We as SLPs need to speak the language of the heart". Thanks also Sean Hennessey for taking the time and interest in the project that comes from the heart. Combining AI and Speech Therapy to form video games so that kids with speech disorders can have greater access to therapy than ever before is our way of showing our hearts. https://lnkd.in/eSB_Ycgj https://lnkd.in/eWutT79s #socialimpact #ai #speechtherapy #innovation #videogames #speechrecognition

The Stutter Stars video game by Say It Labs started out as an idea in 2019 and became the first A.I.-based video game to help children who stutter learn fluency techniques while using their own voices to play the game. This beautiful project will be on display in Brussels during the upcoming Stuttering Symposium at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel this May. The keynote speakers kurt eggers Henny Bijleveld and Prof. Michael Blomgren are inspiring. Thank you Stefanie Keulen from VUB and Prof Mantoa Motinyane from University of the Western Cape for organizing a safe space that discusses new research and therapy for stuttering. #stutteringresearch #ai #videogames #socialimpact
