Speech Sound Disorder Clinical Trial
— SUFSROfficial title:
Simplified Ultrasound Feedback for Speech Remediation
Recent research in motor control shows that people learn new movements best when they receive feedback external to the body. Traditional ultrasound speech therapy works well for many children, but involves teaching children to focus on their internal tongue movements. The goal of the study is to test whether ultrasound biofeedback delivered without showing children a display of their tongue movements will be effective as a treatment for residual speech sound disorders in children. We focus on children who have trouble producing the sound "r" as in "rabbit". The first aim is to develop a fast reliable system to track movements of different parts of the tongue using ultrasound and to identify which combinations of movements will produce a good "r" and which do not. The second aim is to develop a motivational game in which children receive feedback on the success of their tongue movements by what happens to an animated character on a screen. This developed version of ultrasound feedback therapy will be compared to the traditional version of ultrasound feedback therapy to determine how the two approaches can best be utilized in the clinic.
