Canine-assisted speech therapy for children with communication impairments – a randomized controlled trial
Original language description
Developmental dysphasia (DD) is a disorder resulting in a communication impairment. Children diagnosed with this condition are usually referred to a speech therapist. Further to conventional speech therapy it is possible to adopt a complementary animal-assisted approach. For the present study, the authors assembled a cohort comprising 69 children diagnosed with DD. The children in the experimental group (n = 31, 21 male, 10 female) ranged from 4 to 7 years (M = 5,53 years, SD = 0,81 years). The control group was formed of children (n = 38, 31male, 7 female) at the ages of 4-6 years (M = 4,85 years, SD = 0,51 years). While the latter received traditional speech therapy, the experimental group experienced sessions enhanced by animal-assistance therapy (AAT) with a dog present for co-therapy purposes. As primary outcome measures, the Kwint-Stambak (KS) test was adopted (for assessing facial motricity) together with the Bruininks-Oseretsky (BO) test (for evaluating motor proficiency). Both of these reve
