Four Brazilian children with speech motor delay all showed gains in phoneme accuracy and stress after ReST therapy via telepractice. With no control group and only four participants, this is preliminary evidence, not proof the method works.
All four children with SMD showed improvements in phoneme accuracy, lexical stress, and coarticulation after ReST therapy delivered via synchronous telepractice at two sessions per week over a six-week period.
Generalization to real words was delayed: scores were more modest during the intermediate probes and increased at the four-month follow-up assessment.
The study had no control group, only four participants, and all data were collected by a single speech-language pathologist, which restricts generalizability and may introduce assessment bias.
