Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to examine the effectiveness of a short, highly structured parent based speech intervention program on speech development in very preterm children with a Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) at 2 years of age. The hypothesis of this study is that early intervention on speech development is effective in improving the speech development in preterm children with SSD at 2 years of age compared to a no treatment group (usual care at this age).
