- Treatment Intensity of Speech Intervention via Telepractice for Children with Speech Sound Disorders: A Systematic Review. EBP Briefs. Volume 15, Issue 3 Thao, Sunjung Kim Lee, Sue Ann S. Speech Impairments Articulation Impairments Intervention Speech Language Pathology Telecommunications Program Effectiveness Incidence Outcomes of Treatment Preschool Children Children Clinical Question: In speech intervention via telepractice for preschool and school-age children with speech sound disorders (SSD), is treatment intensity similar to or different from that of traditional in-person therapy for optimal treatment results? Method: Systematic Review. Study Sources: PubMed, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, PsycInfo, ASHAWire, Cochrane Library. Search Terms: telepractice OR telehealth OR telerehabilitation OR telemedicine OR telecare OR telespeech AND speech OR articulation OR phonolog* AND interven* OR treat* OR therap* AND child*. Number of Included Studies: 5. Primary Results: (1) Speech intervention via telepractice and in-person methods required similar treatment intensity for children with SSD; (2) In telepractice service, children with SSD benefited from biweekly 20- to 40-minute interventions for at least 12-18 weeks; and (3) A dose of 75-100 productions per session has been adopted in speech intervention via telepractice; however, this dose was based on limited studies. Conclusions: Research evidence for the optimal treatment intensity delivered via telepractice for children with SSD is still limited. In telepractice service, children with SSD benefited from speech intervention when they received 20- to 40-minute therapy twice a week for at least 12-18 weeks with an average dose of 75-100 productions per session. Such treatment intensity was similar to that of traditional in-person methods for this population. Continued research to investigate treatment intensity via the telepractice service delivery model is warranted to make a more informed clinical decision in this area.
