Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Evaluating the Efficacy of Opti-Speech, a 3D Visual Feedback System, for Speech Treatment

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if feedback from a three-dimensional real-time visualization of the tongue, a program called Opti-Speech, can be used to improve speech.

Detailed Summary: Participants will be asked to complete the Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation along with several other assessment tests. Then speech treatment, guided by Opti-Speech, will be provided to the participant for up to 10 treatment sessions. The participant will be asked to come back after the final treatment for a 2-month follow-up assessment.

Current Primary Outcome: Percent articulatory accuracy [ Time Frame: within 30 minutes of treatment ]

Sound probe lists will be administered within 30 minutes of treatment. Probe lists will be scored as correct or incorrect. The percentage of probes correct will be calculated


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Change in Accuracy of Speech Sound Production from Pre-Treatment to Post-Treatment [ Time Frame: Immediately prior to first speech treatment and 2 months after final treatment. ]

The Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation will be administered prior to any speech treatment with Opti-Speech and again 2 months after the final speech treatment session. The percentage of consonants correct (PCC) will be used to assess the change in accuracy of speech sound production from pre-treatment to post-treatment


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
