Does Treatment Time Affect SLP Outcomes in Preschoolers?

Written by Emily K. Hulse

Are you wondering if treatment time affects outcomes in preschoolers? The answer is yes! Speech Language Pathologists collect data to determine what factors may affect progress in preschoolers and to rate children’s speech and language skills. The data collected indicates that the outcomes children achieve vary with the amount of treatment they receive. More treatment time is associated with better outcomes for children! Treatment time, service delivery model, and completion of a structured home program appears to be key elements associated with articulation progress. Data proves that preschoolers who participate in 10+ hours of individual treatment and a successful completion of a structured home program are making the best progress (91%).
