The PhonicStick : Can intense training with the PhonicStick affecvt phonological ability in children with an atypical language development?
The present study investigates if intense training with the PhonicStick, a speech generating joystick developed originally as a communication device, has an effect on phonological ability in children with an atypical language development. Previous studies connected to the PhonicStick and phonologica...
