入选标准

  • Eligibility will be determined using routine speech pathology assessment tools that involve either listening to an adult say words and pointing to the picture or looking at pictures and naming them. Children will be between 4 years and 5 year 11 months and have English as their first language.
  • Additionally, children will need to have receptive vocabulary within 1.5 SD of the mean as measured by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, 5th edition (PPVT-5; Dunn, 2019). In the PPVT-5, the adult says a word and asks the child to look at a large book and choose the corresponding picture from four options.
  • Participants must have a the most common type of speech sound disorder—phonological impairment (identified by the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology; DEAP, Dodd et al., 2002). In the DEAP, the adult shows the child pictures and asks the child to name them. If the child doesn’t know the answer, they will first be given two options (e.g. Is it a cat or a dog?”) and if still incorrect asked to copy the adult. Participants must also meet the following speech criteria:
  • At least four occurrences of word initial weak syllable deletion as measured on the Preschool Polysyllable Test (POP; Baker, 2013), a test that involves asking the child to name pictures of objects or actions with long (polysyllabic) names, e.g. ‘medicine’ or ‘avocado’.
  • Able to say words with a strong-weak-strong stress pattern
  • A phonemic inventory that includes nasals, plosives, fricatives and glides
  • No established pattern of initial consonant deletion, glottal or /h/ replacement

排除标准

  • Children will be excluded from participation if they:
  • produce five or more words inconsistently on the DEAP screener, as this is indicative of a different type of speech sound disorder warranting a different type of therapy approach.
  • present with clinical features or diagnosis of Childhood Apraxia of Speech or dysarthria, hearing loss, cleft lip and/or palate, global developmental delay or autism spectrum disorder.
  • have already had speech intervention directly targeting multisyllabic words or weak syllable deletion.
