Pediatric Speech Therapy Session Frequency and Speech Outcomes

Speech TherapyLanguage Disorders in Children4 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare speech therapy outcomes in children ages 18 months to 16 years who participate in weekly speech therapy with home programming versus every-other week speech therapy with home programming in outpatient speech therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a change in how often speech therapy sessions are delivered show an increased benefit in language and articulation standardized test scores? Participants will be randomly assigned to either (1) weekly or (2) every-other-week speech therapy for a total of 8 sessions. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if there are differences in speech outcomes.

Dynamic Assessment of Phonological Disorders

Speech Sound Disorder

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about (1) how speech skills can be measured and how various tests give speech therapists different types of information for children with speech sound disorder, and (2) whether changes occur in the amount of help children need when they work on easier sounds or harder sounds during treatment. The main questions this study aims to answer are: (1) what does one type of test (dynamic assessment) tell us about speech skills compared to another type of test (static assessment), and (2) does practice of easier or harder sounds show differences in progress. Participants will complete 16 sessions of speech treatment called "modified cycles treatment", and will complete several speech and language tests before, during, and after treatment by pointing to pictures, and saying sounds, words, and sentences.

Age-related Correlates of Treatment for Late-acquired Sounds

Speech Sound DisorderPhonology Disorder8 more

Late-acquired sounds, such as /r/ are difficult to learn and many children experience persistent errors on these sounds. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether treating these sounds earlier in the child's life may result in better outcomes.

Randomized Clinical Trial of Phonological Interventions

Speech Articulation DisorderDevelopmental Articulation Disorder2 more

Recent research reveals genetic and symptomatic overlap among children with speech sound disorders (i.e., those who (misarticulate more sounds than would be expected for their age) and children with dyslexia (i.e., those who struggle to learn to read). Children who have speech sound disorders as preschoolers are at risk for the later emergence of dyslexia, a risk that often reveals itself in the form of poor phonological awareness skills during the preschool period. Traditional speech therapy methods focus on articulation accuracy and do not focus on the child's more abstract knowledge of the sound system of the language. The ultimate objective of this research program is to prevent reading disability in children who present with speech sounds disorders. The relative effectiveness of different interventions to help these children achieve age-appropriate phonological processing skills prior to school entry will be investigated. It is expected that a combination of treatment approaches that focus on speech perception skills and vocabulary knowledge will have a superior impact on phonological awareness in comparison with a treatment approach that focuses solely on articulation accuracy.

Characteristics of Idiopathic Familial Speech Disorders

Developmental Articulation DisorderSpeech Disorder1 more

According to studies, speech disorders with unknown causes (idiopathic) affect approximately 5% of the population at some point in their life. Some of these disorders like, stuttering and cluttering, are known for being detected early, during speech development. Stuttering is characterized by sound and syllable repetitions and consonant/vowel prolongations. When stuttering is moderate to severe, it can interfere with a person's job and social activities. Speech articulation disorders are characterized by omissions, or substitutions of speech sounds. The speech of a person who clutters is often difficult to understand. People are often unaware of the errors they make when speaking causing treatment of the condition to be very difficult. The purpose of this research is to study an extended family whose members exhibit a pure form of speech articulation disorders In addition, the study will use data and information gathered from the study and use it to develop guidelines (criteria) for defining and differentiating patients with speech disorders.
