Help Your Child’s Speech Development – Join Our DTTC Speech Therapy Research!

Cerebral Palsy Alliance is inviting children and their families to participate in an exciting speech therapy research study using Dynamic Tactile Temporal Cuing (DTTC).

If your child has cerebral palsy and experiences moderate to severe speech difficulty, this free therapy program could help improve their speech accuracy and communication skills. 

Who can participate? 

Children who:  

  • Have cerebral palsy.  
  • Are between 3-8 years old.  
  • Have moderate to severe speech difficulty.  
  • Do not have a diagnosed intellectual disability. 
  • Have normal or adjusted-to-normal hearing and vision.  
  • Speak English. 

What to expect? 

DTTC Therapy is a research-based speech therapy designed to improve speech accuracy, intelligibility, and conversational skills.  

Sessions will be held at your local Cerebral Palsy Alliance site. Click here to find a CPA site  

There will be 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks – and it’s completely free! At the end of the therapy course, parents/carers will be invited to complete a short questionnaire and participate in an interview to share their thoughts.
