The Effect of the Systematic Articulation Training Program Accessing Computers (SATPAC) Program Delivered Via Teletherapy on the Speech Production of Children Between the Ages of Six and Ten

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 result 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.
