Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to present a case that uses ultrasound biofeedback (UBF) to establish the correct production of /s/ sound in a 7-year-old child with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and submucous cleft palate with a persistent speech sound disorder to illustrate how UBF can be used in a clinical setting.

Methods: The patient underwent sixteen treatment sessions using UBF. Percent consonants correct measurements taken across five data points in cluding twice before treatment (week 1 and week 4), mid-treatment (week 8), posttreatment (week 16), and after a month follow-up.

Results: After employing UBF intervention, percent correct consonants reached 80% accuracy. Despite the child’s previous history of unsuccessful speech therapy, the use of UBF resulted in observable changes in tongue shape during the production of the /s/ sound following the treatment.

Conclusion: Ultrasound can be beneficial in showing new tongue movement and placement for improved intelligibility. Ultrasound stands to make a significant contribution to the treatment and diagnosis of speech sound errors, but more research is needed to understand how ultrasound is used with this clinically-diverse population.
