Experimental Analysis of the Effectiveness of a Cyber-physical Robotic System to Assist Speech and Language Pathologists in High School

This research focuses on whether the use of a cyber-physical robotic system (CPRS) to assist Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP) in Special Education service is beneficial. The method based quasi-experiment with 2k design two-way ANOVA, implemented real high school students over 10 weeks. It was found that this CPRT could improve, preliminarily as an initial exploratory finding, therapeutic speech effectiveness up 11.3 percentage points statistical confidence 95%, when SLPs work mild articulation disorder restricted time for therapy, but especially technology used without constraints. concluded assistive be causal factor improvement specific treatments performed by SLPs, evidence being sufficiently significant (95%) maintain scientific educational interest line future.
