Speech Motor Chaining is an evidence-based motor learning treatment for speech sound disorders. Our past research has shown that children who have shown little progress following traditional treatment can improve their speech sounds with motor learning treatment.
In this study we are researching if a version of Speech Motor Chaining with speech recognition can improve the “R” sound for children who can say and adult-like “R” in some words but cannot produce “R” clearly in most words, when the words are spoken on their own.
Who can take part?
Children who have trouble with the “R” sound aged 9 – 17 years old who:
- Have normal/adjusted to normal vision and hearing
- Speak English as a first language
- Have no other developmental concerns
- Have no oral or facial structural issues
What is involved?
- Two speech pathology assessments including “Orientation to R” (~ 60 minutes each)
- 5 – 8 pre-treatment recordings (~ 10 minutes each)
- 16 computerized therapy sessions (40 minutes each)
- 3 post-treatment recordings (~ 10 minutes each)
- If you complete all study-tasks, we expect to pay you $105
Benefits of participating
- Speech pathology assessment report
- 16 free speech lessons
