A case study using neurofeedback training & speech assistive tools for children with speech delays
The purpose of this research was to identify and discuss the improvement of speech delayed children in developing speech after undergoing several neurofeedback training with the belp of assistive tools through the changes in brainwave pattern. However, when it comes to assistive tools, most of them...

| Summary: | The purpose of this research was to identify and discuss the improvement of speech delayed children in developing speech after undergoing several neurofeedback training with the belp of assistive tools through the changes in brainwave pattern. However, when it comes to assistive tools, most of them are develop based on the western culture and based on normal circumstances. This is important as the acceptance and the ability for the special children to learn things are different from the normal children. Hence, this case study use the Pre-test and Post-test design in which a total of 8 session ofneurofeedback training (session 1 ofNFT without assistive tools and session 2-8 ofNFT with assistive tools) is conduct on two speech delays children diagnosed by pediatrician. The brainwave or raw data will be recorded and compared using the average reading from each session. Thus, the research found that the use of Delta Training Protocol helps the subject to show an improvement and increment in which throughout the session the Delta brainwave start to produce a more desirable pattern. In a conclusion, the findings revealed that both subjects improved in terms of speech behavior as shown in the result section. The Delta training protocol was used to inhibit the excessive wave (High Beta & Beta) using neurofeedback training in combination with the assistive tools (game & video). |
