Abstract : Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significant applications over speech therapy which has address the severe challenges faced by the children who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review explores the potential of those children to improve their social interactions and communication skills. Diverse literature review of this study has explored the key advancements like automated speech recognition using Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) and offer tailored integration of AI-enabled collaboration.

Keywords : AI Tools for Speech Therapy, ASD, ML, NLP, Speech Therapy, Speech Recognition Technology.
