iChain Trial Summary

This trial will compare two types of treatment schedules for children with speech sound disorders to see which works better.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for American English-speaking children aged 9 to 17 with speech sound disorders, specifically difficulty with /ɹ/ and /s/ sounds. They must have started learning English by age 3, pass a hearing test, score adequately on language understanding tests, and want to improve their speech. Children with cleft palate, voice disorders, autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability or brain injury are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two different schedules of Speech Motor Chaining treatment: a 'Distributed' schedule (2 sessions per week for 8 weeks) versus an 'Intensive' schedule (16 hours of treatment over 4 weeks). The aim is to see which schedule better helps school-age children learn correct speech sounds in cases of residual speech sound disorder.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves non-medical treatment focused on improving speech through therapy sessions rather than drugs or surgery, there are no direct physical side effects associated with this clinical trial.
