The primary aim of this study is to develop software as a tool in speech and language therapy for the treatment of children (Portuguese and English) with phonologically based Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). Further, this project aims to test the effectiveness of this approach with two groups of preschool and school aged children with phonologically based SSD, with one group consisting of European Portuguese (EP) speakers and one group of British English (BE) speakers. Performance across the two groups will be compared. The total duration of the project will be 30 month.
The Table to Tablet (T2T) project aims to develop software as a tool in speech and language therapy for the treatment of children (Portuguese and English) with phonologically based Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). Further, this project aims to test the effectiveness of this approach with two groups of children aged between 3 years and 6 months and 6 years and 6 months with phonologically based Speech Sound Disorders (SSD).
One group consists of European Portuguese (EP) speakers and one group of British English (BE) speakers. Each group should include 20 children with the referred criteria and the performance across the two groups will be compared.
The total duration of the project will be 30 month (software development over the first 12 months and an intervention study during following 18 months).
The T2T team includes 3 Speech and Language Therapists and 3 engineers/researchers plus a designer that will develop the T2T material.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table-based T2T intervention | Active Comparator | A combined phonological awareness therapy, listening and discrimination and auditory bombardment activities intervention will be applied. This will be based in a table top material version. The intervention will consist of 12 weekly sessions (individual) of 45 min in duration, divided into two blocks (6+6) without any breaks. |

| Table-based T2T intervention | Other | Phonological therapy consists of a combination of phonological awareness activities, auditory and discrimination and auditory bombardment activities. This activities will be based on table top materials. The items used in the intervention will be based on the child's target speech production goals. This intervention will include the following areas:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Consonants Correct | Calculation of the percentage of the correct produced consonants | one year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Parental Reports | Questionnaire focused on: speech improvement; enjoyment of therapy; effect of therapy on their understanding of their child. | one and a half year |
| Intelligibility Score | How well a client's speech is understood by other individuals, i.e. understandability of speech. |

| Tablet-based T2T intervention | Other | Phonological therapy consists of a combination of phonological awareness activities, auditory and discrimination and auditory bombardment activities. This activities will be based on digital materials presented on a tablet. The items used in the intervention will be based on the child's target speech production goals. This intervention will include the following areas:
