Dynamic Therapy
The Dynamic Therapy Randomised Controlled Trial
The Dynamic Therapy Randomised Controlled Trial is a research study about improving the speech outcomes of children with moderate-severe Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). The project will examine the efficacy of a treatment used to treat Apraxia – Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC or Dynamic Therapy). DTTC has been shown to be effective in smaller studies (see the research page). This is the first large study to compare DTTC to usual care in Australia and the United States.
The study is a collaboration between seven universities, two NSW Health sites, and one private practice. It will be run over 10 sites in Australia (in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra, and Townsville,) and the United States (in Syracuse NY and Philadelphia PA).
Recruitment for this project will continue until October 2023. If you are interested in participating, please go to our participation page
