Study Summary

This trial is testing whether speech perceptual training can help children with speech sound disorders, who are thought to have difficulty detecting subtle differences between sounds.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking children aged between 4 and 6 years with speech sound disorders (SSD), who have not received prior speech therapy, show typical development in other areas, and have normal hearing. They must be struggling with producing at least four English consonants correctly.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two treatments for SSD: traditional speech production treatment alone, or combined with speech perception training. The goal is to see if adding perception training helps kids distinguish sounds better and improve their speaking abilities.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve non-invasive therapies like speech production and perception exercises, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Speech Treatment & PerceptionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Half of the children will be assigned to the traditional speech treatment program and speech perception training program combination. This treatment program will teach children not only how to produce sounds in academic vocabulary words, but to also identify correctly and incorrectly produced sounds in words.

Group II: Speech TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Half of the children will be assigned to the traditional speech treatment program which will focus on how to produce sounds in academic vocabulary words.
