Abstract: Speech isa zestful, and intricate activity that enables people to express ideas, emotions, and thoughts. We are able to render our views because of this neural activity. It is a significant process for learning and personal development that every individual deserves to develop, including those with special needs and who are on a journey to learn how to communicate. Children frequently suffer from speech disorders. This entails them at the risk of experiencing social, intellectual, and academic challenges that may persist and affect them in their adolescence and adulthood. In this context, we present a speech therapy solution for special children, to assist kids with speech and language impairments in improving their language skills. The proposed app can act as a useful management tool and rehabilitation system for people with aphasia disorder and their caretakers including parents, guardians, and teachers. This innovative app offers a vast number of features and practice sessions to develop language skills and overcome communication impairment problems. It also supports multiple regional languages, including English, Urdu, and Sindhi allowing users to switch between native languages effortlessly through the settings. The developed app is equipped with a dynamic accuracy assessment, and progress-tracking system, notifying the parents or guardians when practice sessions are missed, ensuring that language development remains consistent and effective. The major novelty of this work is that it has considered regional aphasia patients and their language needs. In contrast to the existing developed therapeutic tools which are mainly oriented towards resource-rich languages, the proposed work aims to address regional languages. The proposed speech therapist App for children can be a powerful tool for parents, caregivers, and educators, providing a fun and interactive way for children to improve their speech and language abilities. The developed solution also offers benefits in the context of enhanced patient involvement, motivation throughout their learning journey, greater flexibility, and accessibility in contrast to in-person therapy, immediate feedback, and careful progress monitoring that makes it easier to assess and modify treatment sessions.
