Children with speech sound disorders will receive speech therapy using real-time images of the tongue from ultrasound. These images will be used to cue the child to change the tongue position when producing speech sounds.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound plus prosodic cues | Experimental | One sound in error is treated with ultrasound visual feedback while also cueing prosodic variation (7 one-hour sessions). Another sound in error is treated with the ultrasound visual feedback with no prosodic variation (7 one-hour sessions). Prosodic variations are cues to coordinate production of the target sound with intonation patterns such as questions (rising intonations), commands (loud/emphatic), or statements (neutral) |
|
| Ultrasound vs Traditional treatment | Experimental | One sound in errors is treated with ultrasound visual feedback for approximately half of each session and traditional treatment for half of the session (7 one-hour sessions). Another sound in error is treated with no ultrasound visual feedback, using traditional treatment for the entire session (7 one-hour sessions). These traditional cues include verbal instructions on how to move the tongue to achieve a particular speech sound. |
