Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHOD: A total of 30 young children with functional articulation disorders were divided into two groups, the no- SID group (15 children) and the SID group (15 children). The number of pronunciation mistakes was evaluated before and after speech therapy. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, sibling order, education of parents, and pretest number of mistakes in pronunciation between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mean and standard deviation in the pre- and post-test number of mistakes in pronunciation were 10.5 ± 3.2 and 3.3 ± 3.3 in the no- SID group, and 10.1 ± 2.9 and 6.9 ± 3.5 in the SID group, respectively. Results showed great changes after speech therapy treatment (F = 70.393; P < 0.001) and interaction between the pre/post speech therapy treatment and groups (F = 11.119; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS:
