Murray, Elizabeth; McCabe, Patricia; Ballard, Kirrie J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: This randomized controlled trial compared the experimental Rapid Syllable Transition (ReST) treatment to the Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme-Third Edition (NDP3; Williams & Stephens, 2004), used widely in clinical practice in Australia and the United Kingdom. Both programs aim to improve speech motor planning/programming for children…

Ballard, Kirrie J.; Robin, Donald A.; McCabe, Patricia; McDonald, Jeannie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2010
Purpose: Dysprosody is considered a core feature of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), especially impaired production of lexical stress. Few studies have tested the effects of intervention for dysprosody. This Phase II study with 3 children investigated the efficacy of a treatment targeting improved control of relative syllable durations in…
