First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests a therapy called Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cuing (DTTC) for children with childhood apraxia of speech, a disorder that makes it hard to plan and coordinate speech movements. Seventy-two children will receive DTTC, which involves imitating a clinician's speech with cues. The goal is to see if this improves word accuracy and how well others understand them.
