Abstract

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is limited information on the intervention efficacy for children with speech motor delay (SMD). This randomized control trial (RCT) study examined the effectiveness of Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT) intervention to improve the outcomes in children with SMD. We hypothesized that children with SMD receiving PROMPT intervention would improve more in the measured outcomes than those waitlisted and receiving home training. METHODS: Using a two-arm, parallel group, RCT, 49 children with SMD were allocated to either an intervention group (N = 24) that received 45 min of PROMPT intervention two times a week for 10 weeks or were waitlisted for the same duration and received only home training instructions (N = 25). Outcome measures for speech motor control, articulation, speech intelligibility (word and sentence levels), and functional communication were assessed at baseline and at a 10-week follow-up. RESULTS: PROMPT intervention was associated with notable improvements in speech motor control, speech articulation, and word-level speech intelligibility. Intervention allocation yielded weak improvements in sentence-level speech intelligibility and functional communication. CONCLUSIONS: PROMPT intervention is a clinically effective intervention approach for children with SMD. IMPACT: Currently, there is limited information on the intervention efficacy for children with SMD. We report on the findings of a phase III intervention efficacy study on children with SMD using an RCT design. PROMPT intervention is a clinically effective intervention approach for children with SMD. Results of the study will be fundamental to the delivery of effective services for this population. These findings may facilitate the development of an evidence-based care pathway for children with severe speech sound disorders.
