In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if speech supplementation can improve speech intelligibility in children ages 7 to 17 years with cerebral palsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To what extent can speech supplementation improve intelligibility in children with CP compared with habitual speech produced without speech supplementation? * How much intelligibility change is necessary for meaningful improvement when children use speech supplementation strategies? Participants will: * complete speech and language assessments * complete a speech pre-test using habitual speech * learn a speech supplementation strategy with training from a speech-language pathologist * complete a speech post-test using the speech supplementation strategy * complete a speech repetition task where specific words are emphasized (emphatic stress) * use the previously learned speech supplement
