Speech-Language Pathologists are responsible for remediating speech sound disorders in the most efficient and effective means to avoid their negative impact on classroom performance, literacy skills, social interactions, and vocational outcomes. As a results of the COVID-19 pandemic, SLPs need to identify effective therapy methods of telepractice. The Systematic Articulation Program Accessing Computers (SATPAC) utilizes multiple components of the principles of motor learning through nonsense words imitated to the beat of a metronome. Sacks et al. and Flipsen and Sacks report the effectiveness of the SATPAC program for remediating /r, s, z/. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the SATPAC program via teletherapy. Other modifications of the original investigations included addressing the phoneme, using a different primary investigator (PI), and scheduling 20-to-30-minute sessions twice per week. The investigation utilized an A-B single-subject research design to assess the carryover of the target sound from the medial position of nonsense words to actual words. Once the participant obtained baseline stability, the PI initiated the intervention. The PI probed 20 randomized words at the beginning of each intervention session to monitor progress. The results indicated that the participant improved in the initial position of words from 0% to 80% accuracy over ten intervention sessions. The data offered preliminary support of the use tof SATPAC via teletherapy to remediate articulation errors in addition to /r, s, z/.
