Spokelt: A Co-Created Speech Therapy Experience

We present SpokeIt, a novel speech therapy game cocreated with users, medical experts, speech pathologists, developmental psychologists, and game designers. Our serious game for health aims is to augment and support in-office speech therapy sessions with an at-home supported speech therapy experience. SpokeIt was co-created using participatory methods involving multiple stakeholders and target users. We describe the technical details of SpokeIt, the process of working with multiple stakeholders, and the methods that allowed us to create medium fidelity prototypes in real-time with players. We share our emerging designs, tools, insights for the broader CHI audience, and plans for future work.
