Ultrasound Biofeedback for Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound video to show tongue movements during speech therapy can help children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) speak more clearly. It is for children ages 5–16 who speak only Brazilian Portuguese.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have been diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) by at least two speech-language pathologists.
- Your child must be between 5 and 16 years old.
- Your child must speak only Brazilian Portuguese at home.
- Your child must have normal hearing, thinking, and learning abilities for their age.
- Your child must not have any other conditions that affect speech, like hearing loss, a cleft palate, or cerebral palsy.

This study tests a specialized speech therapy approach for children with childhood apraxia of speech (a condition that makes it hard for kids to plan and coordinate the movements needed to speak). The therapy focuses on motor skills and movement patterns to help improve speech clarity.
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.
This study tests a speech treatment plan for children on the autism spectrum who currently speak very little. It aims to improve speech clarity and ability to repeat sounds, but only if the child’s home language environment and participation needs fit the study rules.
This study tests speech therapy delivered over video calls (telepractice) for children born with a cleft palate who have trouble making certain speech sounds. It looks at whether this type of therapy can help improve their speech.
This trial tests how people adapt their speech when they hear their own voice altered. It may help understand speech control in healthy people and those with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor or Parkinson's disease.
This study tests if an AI-powered system can help children ages 9 to 17 generalize the speech sounds they learned in a previous study. It's for kids who already completed the VISIT trial and showed some progress.
