A survey of vision and speech stimulation for cerebral palsy rehabilitation

Abstract

This survey summarizes many theories and methods applied for vision and speech improvement for cerebral palsy babies. Some research team focus on vision and speech stimulation for cerebral palsy with different techniques using computer aided system and electrical devices. Electrical electrode devices are complexity to use and reliability are inadequate for providing vision and speech stimulation which lead to recover partial output. The material of the survey is divided into four section. 1) Overview of vision development 2) vision stimulation techniques. 3) low vision 4) overview of speech stimulation and techniques. The survey taken from the research field of computer science, neural networks, electrical engineering and psychology. It contains useful guidelines for the construction of new vision and speech stimulation tool which support for young and visually inattentive children.
