17. Spray vs Splash: Which Treatment Target Boosts Speech Clarity
from The Preschool SLP · host Kelly Vess, MA, CCC-SLP
What happens when you choose spray instead of splash as your treatment target? In this episode, I share brand-new research with preschoolers showing how targeting later-developing, more complex clusters can lead to greater overall speech gains.Find out why spray produced a 52% improvement in consonant accuracy compared to only 28% with splash, and how R and L gains follow the complexity effect. These results have direct clinical implications you can try in your own therapy sessions.👉 Want to put this research into action and boost speech clarity with ready-to-use, literacy-based movement activities?
