Abstract

The advent of computer-assisted reading programs that utilize computer-synthesized speech provides an opportunity for readers with disabilities to obtain reading practice in an informative and nonthreatening situation. This article provides a review of studies that have used computer-assisted reading programs, with and without synthesized speech. It also describes a pilot study with readers having severe disabilities, using computer-synthesized speech in a reading program, in an attempt to improve their word recognition abilities. Possible reasons for the lack of significant findings in this study, and recommendations for future research, are discussed.
