Trial Outcomes & Findings for Manipulating Linguistic Complexity to Improve Child Language Treatment Outcomes (NCT NCT03977701)
NCT ID: NCT03977701
Last Updated: 2023-03-09
Results Overview
The Treatment Probe is made of the selected treatment stimuli (words) that are consistent with the child's assigned experimental condition, and evaluates production accuracy of the treatment target within the verb stimuli. The treatment targets in these words have a consonant singleton or consonant cluster ("tee" vs. "tree", "sees" vs. "seats"), and are mono- or bi-morphemic contexts ("tease" vs. "sees"). Children are asked to pronounce each word following presentation of a corresponding picture and a verbal prompt. The Treatment Probe allows us to track the effectiveness of treatment on the target consonant or consonant cluster in the treated stimuli. Accuracy of the consonant or consonant cluster is binary, as 'incorrect' (e.g., "tee" for target "tree") or 'correct' (e.g., "tree" for target "tree").
COMPLETED
NA
41 participants
Change in percentage of consonant or consonant cluster accuracy (depending on Arm/Group) from first treatment session to final treatment session; up to 6 weeks.

Participant Flow
Participants were recruited between June 2019 and December 2021 through schools and community organizations. The first participant was enrolled on 06/01/2019 and the last participant was enrolled on 12/31/2021.
Of 41 participants recruited, 22 met eligibility requirements for participation. Two did not get assigned to study arms due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and one withdrew and opted for treatment elsewhere. Two did not complete protocol due to pandemic; corresponding Arms/Groups (PD-SLI) were discontinued. At pandemic onset, we limited enrollment to 2 Arms/Groups (Mono/Bi Cluster PD). Caregivers were NOT enrolled, were not participants in study, per protocol; no Arms/Groups for caregivers.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Change in percentage of consonant or consonant cluster accuracy (depending on Arm/Group) from first treatment session to final treatment session; up to 6 weeks.Population: Participants who completed study protocol within each arm. Reporting percentage of change in accuracy for treated target consonant or consonant cluster as presented in the verb stimuli.
The Treatment Probe is made of the selected treatment stimuli (words) that are consistent with the child's assigned experimental condition, and evaluates production accuracy of the treatment target within the verb stimuli. The treatment targets in these words have a consonant singleton or consonant cluster ("tee" vs. "tree", "sees" vs. "seats"), and are mono- or bi-morphemic contexts ("tease" vs. "sees"). Children are asked to pronounce each word following presentation of a corresponding picture and a verbal prompt. The Treatment Probe allows us to track the effectiveness of treatment on the target consonant or consonant cluster in the treated stimuli. Accuracy of the consonant or consonant cluster is binary, as 'incorrect' (e.g., "tee" for target "tree") or 'correct' (e.g., "tree" for target "tree").

Morpheme treatment: The clinician will provide models, verbal and/or tactile cues, and/or conversational recasts of targeted morphemes following the methodology of Plante and colleagues. A minimum of 50 productions will be targeted per 1-hour session.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Change in percent consonant accuracy from baseline to immediately following final treatment session; up to 6 weeks.Population: Participants who completed study protocol within each arm. Reporting percentage of change in speech sound accuracy for untreated, monitored speech sounds.
The Generalization Probe consists of words and phrases that target each consonant, cluster, and morpho-syntactic constructs a minimum of 10 times across relevant contexts (i.e., word- and utterance-position). The Generalization Probe allows us to track the effects of treatment (generalization) to untreated stimuli and to monitor control variables by measuring production accuracy of stimuli. The Generalization Probe samples each consonant and consonant cluster of the target language across multiple words and contexts. Children are asked to pronounce each word following presentation of a corresponding picture and a verbal prompt. Accuracy of the consonant or consonant cluster is binary, as 'incorrect' (e.g., "tee" for target "see") or 'correct' (e.g., "see" for target "see").
