DESCRIPTION


The government authority in Michigan is seeking a vendor to collaborate with its research team in developing and testing a novel rhythm-based digital game for children ages 8–12 who stutter. The research will evaluate whether rhythm-based digital games can strengthen beat-based timing and potentially improve speech fluency.

The selected vendor will provide specialized game development, speech technology, software development, and research support services to translate the research team’s theoretical framework into a functional, engaging, and technically reliable game for iPads. The game is expected to include speech and nonspeech rhythm activities, progressive difficulty levels, performance-based adjustments, and research data collection capabilities.

The completed game will support the planned research study and inform future clinical trial development. The contract period is expected to be five years, and questions must be submitted by September 28, 2026.
