A Phase 1 interventional study of Ultrasound visual feedback in Speech Sound Disorders, sponsored by Yale University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 8 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-04-03.
Sponsored by Yale University · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
Children with speech sound disorders will receive speech therapy using real-time images of the tongue from ultrasound. These images will be used to cue the child to change the tongue position when producing speech sounds.
42 studies on the registry are indexed under Speech Sound Disorder; 16 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 35 is close to the median of 35 across 37 interventional studies indexed under Speech Sound Disorder.

Exclusion Criteria:
During initial testing, participants must score below a standard score of 75 on the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-2 and also score below 20% accurate on a probe list of words assessing accuracy of the /r/ sound
One sound in error is treated with ultrasound visual feedback while also cueing prosodic variation (7 one-hour sessions). Another sound in error is treated with the ultrasound visual feedback with no prosodic variation (7 one-hour sessions). Prosodic variations are cues to coordinate production of the target sound with intonation patterns such as questions (rising intonations), commands (loud/emphatic), or statements (neutral)
Behavioral: Ultrasound visual feedback
One sound in errors is treated with ultrasound visual feedback for approximately half of each session and traditional treatment for half of the session (7 one-hour sessions). Another sound in error is treated with no ultrasound visual feedback, using traditional treatment for the entire session (7 one-hour sessions). These traditional cues include verbal instructions on how to move the tongue to achieve a particular speech sound.
Behavioral: Ultrasound visual feedback
Real-time visual displays of the tongue are used to cue participants to modify the tongue position/shape as they articulate speech sounds
Percent correct for target speech sound
Time frame: Change in accuracy after 7 one-hour treatment sessions (3.5 weeks), and after 14 one-hour treatment sessions (7 weeks)
