LogoMetrix
Demonstration at University of Texas
In early March, LogoMetrix visited the University of Texas at
Austin to deliver our first system to Dr. Jan Moore. Ph.D., CCC-A/SLP
Licensed Audiologist & Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant Professor
Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders.
Dr.
Moore is doing research into speech improvement with patients of
Cochlear Implants. We at LogoMetrix are excited to be a part of
Dr. Moore's research and look forward to her data in relationship
to the LogoMetrix system. We hope to keep you posted via this web
site as to her progress and feedback of the system on a time to
time basis.
Some
interesting Qs & As from our visit.
Dr.
Moore had a morning of practice with the LogoPal in her mouth. Previous
to our visit she had her local dentist make and send a stone or
hard model impression of her upper teeth and palate to LogoMetrix.
We custom fit a LogoPal with its 120 sensors for her and she is
seen here wearing it. As some of her peers came by to observe and
ask questions we soon realized that there was a concern for hygiene.
Not to worry. Each person has his or her own LogoPal custom fit
to his or her own mouth and LogoPals are not shared. This meant
for a lot relief and a good laugh as we explained that.
Some
asked for other applications we intend to address with the system.
While
Dr. Moore is using LogoMetrix in her research for Cochlear Implant
patients, we intend on using it with:
-
the deaf community
- learning
a second language
- stroke
victims
We
fielded questions from some of Dr. Moore's students that seemed
to have a central theme of "why hasn't this been done before" Well,
the answer to that is somewhat complex and our engineers could tell
you, but at this point we are just happy to say it is here now and
we look forward to helping as many people as possible.
Dr.
Moore is seen here with a LogoBox around her neck, a LogoPal in
her mouth and a student/learner to her right with the same equipment.
In the background is a laptop computer with the split screen display
of the two speakers.
Dr.
Samuel Fletcher, chief consultant to LogoMetrix, had the opportunity
of speaking to a senior class of Texas Longhorn students about the
science behind palatometry and his career in the speech and hearing
field. He recounted some of his sessions with the deaf and shared
some testimonials of the success behind the LogoMetrix system. Dr.
Fletcher is an engaging speaker and interested in the welfare of
the therapist, the college student and the speech learner. He is
available on a limited basis to speak to your group and we highly
recommend his presentation of history, ideology and enthusiasm.
Your group will not be disappointed as he inspires and educates
with a vitality belying his age. He has devoted his entire career
to the advancement of speech therapy and available technology. He
has an ability to reference the past with the promise of the future.
He motivates and gives focus to those that have dedicated their
time and energy to the speech impaired community. We all felt that
we were engaged in a worthy and doable cause more so after he spoke
than before. If any college student or therapist doubts the value
of their efforts, a session with Dr. Fletcher will work miracles.
You will walk away with a renewed and fresh approach to your work
and study.
Dr.
Moore even had and showed to her class a video of Dr. Fletcher and
a deaf child, Russell, made in the late 1970s during a session of
therapy using the original technology behind the "Palatometer".
Dr. Fletcher has a long and distinguished career in this field.
In fact, he is the inventor of the original palatometer and has
been an involved supporter and consultant all through the process
of forming LogoMetrix. We are dedicated to bringing the field of
"Palatometry" to every budget. With advances in computers and associated
technology we have reduced the size of the computer to that of a
deck of cards and improved the performance of the palate many fold.
Our engineers know the specifics, but suffice it to say they have
reduced the size, increased the performance and best of all lowered
the cost to the point that every individual therapist can afford
a system. No longer relegated to the well endowed institutional
research departments, palatometric science can benefit every practice
private or funded.

time offer we have with Dr. Fletcher personally speaking to your
organization on site. Contact John Lundberg at 602-930-7777 or
