ملخص: This paper describes a computer-based speech training system being developed for persons with speech-impairments, especially for profoundly deaf children. This system, called computer integrated speech training aid (CISTA) provides objective data and on-line diagnostic information visually, facilitates record keeping for teachers and increases student motivation. CISTA has been commercially available in Japan since 1988, mainly used in deaf schools and hospitals. CISTA has been used for some years to evaluate its eAciency and applicability in the schools for the deaf and speech clinics in rehabilitation centers in Japan and the USA. The results of two experiments have shown its e€ectiveness.
