Abstract


This study explores the principles and application of phonetic rhythmic technology in developing speech skills among children with special needs, particularly those with hearing impairments. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach supported by literature analysis and expert insights, the research highlights how multisensory methods—visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic to enhance phonological awareness, articulation, prosody, and intonation. The findings indicate that structured rhythmic exercises improve auditory perception, motor coordination, and expressive speech, facilitating more effective verbal communication. The discussion emphasizes the neuropsychological foundations of rhythm-based learning and its pedagogical implications, suggesting that rhythmic phonetics stimulates both language processing and cognitive engagement. Overall, the study affirms the potential of phonetic rhythmic technology as an effective, inclusive approach to speech development and social integration for children with hearing impairments.
