Abstract
This paper presents a co-designed robot system developed through an 22-month collaboration with Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) for the use in real-world therapeutic setting. We created persona profiles of SLPs and children with speech and language challenges to inform the development of five game types for two age groups (0-4 and 5-9 years). The system integrates a robot platform with a web-based application that facilitates real-time interaction during therapy sessions. Each game addresses specific therapeutic needs, using the developed child personas as a reference point. Prototype testing with SLPs through role-playing sessions revealed usability insights that led to system refinements, including enhanced robot dialogue, age-appropriate content adjustments, and additional interactive features. The resulting system demonstrates how human-centered design can create robotic system that addresses the practical challenges faced by SLPs and children in therapeutic settings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
