Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing treatment
DTTC is a motor-based treatment designed for children with CAS who may have limited verbal output. It applies the principles of motor learning and focuses on speech movement gestures in the context of functional words and phrases. The participants will receive two versions of the DTTC treatment (i.e., DTTC in English \[DTTC-E\] and DTTC in Cantonese \[DTTC-C\]), where probe data will be collected before, during, between and after the treatment intervention.
