Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to verify phonological and auditory aspects of children submitted to traditional phonological therapy, phonological therapy using a software and placebo therapy in children with phonological disorders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will provide different therapeutic approaches for cases of phonological disorders, the classical approach would be mediated by Cycles Model, innovated approach is performed by means of an intervention speech software-SIFALA, there will still be the group that does not receive any of the proposals therapies that will be the placebo group.The study will provide 25 sessions for each group, with 30 minutes in each group. At the end of these sessions, the placebo group will receive one of the therapeutic approaches. With these three study groups, the investigators understand in what manner to obtain correct sounds is more effective.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Traditional Phonological Therapy

This intervention will be intermediated by the traditional model cycles. This approach has the principle of treating the suppression of operant phonological processes in child's speech, from the awareness of sound-target characteristics operating in that phonological process.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Phonological Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Phonological therapy based on generalizing the sounds presented by figures, repetition and naming words.

Software Phonological Therapy- SIFALA

This intervention will be intermediated by the software SIFALA. The software SIFALA, allows to select target segments using the Modelo de Estratos (second model Strata), based on the level segment of production and complexity of distinctive features, from the child's sound system analysis and planned generalizations. It also seeks the treatment of phonological disorders, by selection stimulus words in more favorable environments and playful activities with computer resource for the correct production of the target segment in the words stimulus, promoting the spread segments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Software Phonological Therapy- SIFALA

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The phonological thearapy of this group will be based on software use with phonological model already developed, using naming and repetition of sounds.

Placebo Therapy

No interventional group. This group will be the sham group. The proposed activities will be fun games on the computer, there is no relationship with speech and it will be not emphasized the correct sound production, will only play activities.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

No intervention to improve speech.
