Summary

This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help children aged 9 to 17 who struggle to say the 'r' sound correctly. All children will have weekly speech therapy sessions with a human clinician for 5 weeks. Some children will also practice with an AI clinician during those 5 weeks, while others will use the AI after the human sessions end. The goal is to see if AI-assisted home practice improves speech learning.
