Ultrasound speech therapy for kids with speech sound errors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if using ultrasound to show tongue movements during speech therapy helps children with speech sound disorders improve their pronunciation. It may be an option if your child has trouble making certain sounds and speaks Cantonese.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a speech sound disorder and struggles with sounds made by the tongue
- They make errors on a specific target sound more than 70% of the time at the start
- Cantonese is their first and main language at home
- They can hear well in at least one ear, with no hearing loss worse than 50 dB in the other
- They do not have any known genetic syndromes, facial differences, or conditions like cerebral palsy or autism
