Speech Intervention
The treatment will begin with imitation, whereby the child will produce target words following the study clinician's verbal model with 1:1 clinician feedback for the accuracy of the child's productions. This will include explicit articulatory instruction (i.e., verbal and visual cues) to elicit correct target forms. When a child achieves 75% accuracy following a verbal model across 2 consecutive sessions or completes the 9th session (whichever is first), treatment will shift to spontaneous production, in which the child will produce target words spontaneously or through elicitation without a verbal model. Treatment materials will be images of treatment target words, interactive games and stories, and a standard set of toys.
