Join CPA’s “My Voice Library” Study and Help Shape the Future of Communication!

Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) invites children aged 8-18 with mild to severe speech difficulties to participate in the “My Voice Library” study, a groundbreaking project aimed at revolutionising communication aids for those with cerebral palsy.

Led by Dr. Petra Karlsson, this world-first initiative uses gamification to collect voice and orofacial data, providing crucial insights for developing future assistive technologies. Children will engage in fun, interactive modules online, recording sounds, words, and sentences over a 2-3 hour period across 2-3 weeks.

By participating, your child will contribute to vital research that could transform communication tools for those who have difficulty with speech. While there are no direct benefits, each participant will receive a $100 e-gift card upon completion
