Music-based speech language interventions have shown promise to support young children with autism, other speech and language deficits, and Dual Language Learners (also known as DLL, English Language Learners, or ELL). Online edtech learning programs may produce greater positive outcomes for children by including parents as mediators of the intervention. This study measured the preliminary effectiveness of Sing and Speak 4 Kids (SS4Kids), a music-based online speech and language development game, administered to 26 children ages 2–6 years old with or at risk for a diagnosis of autism, other speech and language deficits or DLL. The children were trained in early intervention settings across 4–6 sessions over a 2-week period in one of three group conditions: (a) teacher only in clinic; (b) parent only at home; (c) both teacher + parent. Measurement of verbal production of target words in pre- and post-training sessions showed that trained words significantly improved from pre-test to post-test Additionally, there was no effect of different group conditions (teacher only vs. parent only vs. both teacher + parent) on children's performance. Results suggest that the SS4Kids program is an effective music-based speech and language training method for supporting target word production in young children across a two week timespan. Importantly, the results also found that group conditions did not influence the improvement, confirming effectiveness of both clinic and home-based parent mediation. During a time when traditional in-person intervention services may be restricted, the current work provides cautious but emerging evidence of the effectiveness of an online edtech evidence-based practice to support the speech and language outcomes for a variety of children in early intervention.

基于音乐的言语语言干预已显示出支持患有自闭症、其他言语和语言缺陷的幼儿以及双语学习者（也称为 DLL、英语学习者或 ELL）的希望。在线教育技术学习计划可以通过将父母作为干预的调解者为儿童产生更大的积极成果。本研究测量了 Sing and Speak 4 Kids (SS4Kids) 的初步效果，这是一款基于音乐的在线语音和语言发展游戏，对 26 名 2-6 岁患有自闭症或有自闭症诊断风险的儿童进行管理。语言缺陷或 DLL。孩子们在 2 周的时间内接受了 4-6 次早期干预设置的培训，在以下三种群体条件之一中进行：(a) 仅在诊所担任教师；(b) 只在家做父母；(c) 老师+家长。对训练前和训练后目标词的口头表达的测量表明，训练后的词从前测到后测都有显着提高。 + 父母）关于孩子的表现。结果表明，SS4Kids 计划是一种有效的基于音乐的语音和语言训练方法，可在两周的时间跨度内支持幼儿的目标词生成。重要的是，结果还发现，团体条件并没有影响改善，证实了诊所和家庭父母调解的有效性。在传统的现场干预服务可能受到限制的时期，
