How the Program Works
Sing and Speak 4 Kids (SS4Kids) is a clinically validated music therapy program designed to support the development of children with speech delays. Through engaging, research-based techniques, SS4Kids enhances vocabulary acquisition, generalization, and socialization, fostering meaningful communication skills in real-world environments.
SS4KIDS is a training tool to develop socio-communication skills, and is NOT meant as a device to be used throughout the day by the child alone. As the child learns to speak, this support system gradually fades, so the child can better attain generalization, spontaneous communication and independence of the program. Parents incorporate the lyrics and target words into every day life. Fading occurs on three levels:
As the child plays, their learning is tracked in realtime. The data is formatted into easy-to-read graphs, which can be shared between professionals and parents.
SS4KIDS combines Neurologic Music Therapy, mobile digital services and game play as an effective intervention for helping children with speech delays. Many research studies have linked musical and linguistic skills (1). Children with ASD often respond actively to music and music therapy, showing effectiveness in improving socio-communication deficits (2). Developmental Speech Language Training through Music, an NMT protocol used in SS4Kids, has shown improved outcomes for speech production with children 3-5 years old with ASD (3) (see results in chart*).
