Abstract

Technological development will shed new light upon teaching methodologies, and psychologists, pedagogical experts, and computer experts will have to closely collaborate in order to produce a ready-made tool to be used in the future teaching practice. The educational system intensively uses ICT devices and programs, as their use can change the perspective on the educational policy. In Romania, the psycho-pedagogical studies and experiments contributed to the improvement of the therapeutic progress of the persons with special educational needs. This chapter aims to analyze the way in which serious games can be used in education and see how they can become useful tools in speech therapy. The conclusion of this chapter is that, like many other computer applications, serious games can be tools that complement, often with remarkable results, the therapy.
