The study will test two modifications to speech therapy for 40 school-age children with childhood apraxia of speech to determine how to improve treatment outcomes. The study will compare treatment that includes real-time visual feedback of the tongue during speech using ultrasound vs traditional therapy that does not include ultrasound visual feedback. Additionally, some children will be treated with a traditional schedule of 2 sessions per week, whereas others will be provided with treatment that begins with intensive training (10 hours of therapy in one week) and progresses to a more distributed treatment schedule.
