A feasibility study to investigate the usefulness of language analysis software in speech & language therapy

This new project has been funded by North Bristol NHS Trust through the Product Seed Fund initiative. It will run over 12 months and will look at current software which is available to analyse children’s language and provide details on the types and complexities of grammatical constructions used by individual children. The aim is to identify what features of such software are important to speech & language therapists and will assist them in both setting suitable targets for children and measuring their progress after intervention.
The project will include software development to produce a prototype of software which could be used and a trial of the process of using such software in a clinical setting.
