What do teachers think about using computer program to support children with speech disorders

What is it about?

Early childhood educators often need to support preschool-aged children with speech sound disorders at preschool. This study examined what educators felt were facilitators and/or barriers to use of a computer-based support for children with speech sound disorders (SSD) in preschools. This was part of the Sound Start Study which used the Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter® (PFSS) computer program (Wren and Roulstone, 2013).
