为阿拉伯语自闭症儿童打造智能家庭语言治疗系统
Digital Harf: A Clinically Integrated Multimodal AI System for Pervasive Arabic Speech and Language Therapy

- 构建多模态AI平台,融合语言、发音与看图描述三模块
- 自动生成符合文化背景的治疗内容,临床接受率达90.1%
- 专为阿拉伯语群体设计,重视文化适配性而非后期修补
阿拉伯语国家的自闭症儿童面临多重语言治疗障碍:合格治疗师短缺、服务难以覆盖非城市地区,且缺乏本土化数字治疗资源。我们提出 Digital Harf,一个可普及的多模态AI系统,将临床主导的语言治疗延伸至家庭场景。该系统整合语言训练、发音清晰度评估和看图描述三个模块,形成统一工作流,并随儿童表现动态调整。为解决阿拉伯语治疗内容匮乏问题,我们开发了代理式合成数据引擎(ASDE),基于明确的治疗与文化标准,自动生成具有文化相关性的图像、提示语和语言任务。13名持证言语治疗师的专家评估显示,未经人工筛选的ASDE生成内容临床接受率达90.1%,整体平台在文化与语言契合度上获高度评价。Digital Harf证明,针对低资源语言环境的AI治疗系统可从零构建,将文化适配性作为核心架构而非附加功能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Arabic-speaking countries face compounded barriers to effective speech and language therapy: a shortage of qualified specialists, limited service reach beyond urban centers, and a near-total absence of culturally grounded digital therapy materials. We present Digital Harf, a pervasive, multimodal AI platform that extends clinician-led speech and language therapy into the home. The system integrates three therapeutic modules - language therapy, speech intelligibility, and picture description - within a unified workflow that adapts to each child's performance over time. To address the critical shortage of Arabic therapy content, we introduce an Agentic Synthetic Data Engine (ASDE) that automatically generates culturally relevant images, prompts, and language tasks guided by explicit therapeutic and cultural criteria. Expert evaluation with 13 licensed Speech-Language Pathologists yielded a 90.1% clinical acceptance rate for ASDE-generated content without any manual curation or selection, and strong ratings for cultural and linguistic alignment across the full platform. Digital Harf demonstrates that AI-driven therapeutic systems can be built from the ground up for underrepresented linguistic settings, treating cultural grounding as core infrastructure rather than an adaptation afterthought.
