Ultrasound Biofeedback for Therapy-Resistant Speech Sound Disorders in Children

项目叙事 该项目将促进为言语发音错误的儿童制定干预措施 抗拒传统的发音治疗。超声波将被用来提供视觉显示 当孩子说话时，实时的舌形；这些图像将被用来教孩子如何实现 发音更清晰易懂。该项目将完善干预程序，以实现最大效益， 确定语音障碍儿童的不同特征是否对干预有反应，并比较 这一方法的结果与传统语言治疗取得的结果相比，有更大的差异。

PROJECT NARRATIVE This project will foster the development of an intervention for children whose speech sound errors have have been resistant to traditional articulation treatment. Ultrasound will be used to provide a visual display of the tongue shape in real time as the child speaks; these images will be used to teach children how to achieve more intelligible articulation. The project will refine the intervention procedures to achieve maximal benefit, determine if different profiles of children with speech sound disorders respond to the intervention, and compare the outcomes of this approach to outcomes achieved with traditional speech therapy.
