Study Summary
This trial is testing if online perceptual training can help children with RSE who have atypical perception relative to norms.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking children aged 9 to almost 16 with speech sound disorders affecting their 'r' sounds. They must have normal hearing, oral structure and function, and primarily speak English learned by age 2. Kids can't join if they have developmental disabilities like cerebral palsy or autism, or score too high on certain language and intelligence tests.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines the impact of online auditory-perceptual training on how well these children can hear and say the /r/ sound. The training uses different types of stimuli in a staggered start across participants to see if improvements in perception also improve production.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive educational interventions like perceptual and production training via telepractice, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Online Speech TrainingExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be randomly assigned to transition from the baseline to the treatment condition at one of 7 possible points, ranging from 4 to 10 baseline sessions. All participants will receive 12 sessions of perceptual training over 4 weeks. Finally, participants will complete a 3-session maintenance phase in which perception and production are probed but not treated. Perception will be measured using the identification and category goodness judgment.
Following completion of perception training all participants will complete two weeks of production training. The production training will consists of 4, 60-minute sessions. Each session will provide instruction and practice trials.
