    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: To introduce Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), which is one of the treatment methods for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), and it seems the characteristics make it a suitable option for the treatment of AOS patients. Additionally, no documented treatment protocol has been published in Iran for the treatment of AOS patients so far, so this study protocol intends to investigate the DTTC efficacy in the treatment of Persian-speaking patients with acquired AOS who will be allocated to this study using a non-probability and convenience method.
Material and Methods: A single subject study with multiple baseline design across participants was designed to obtain detailed information about intervention procedure on at least three participants' performance and a perceptual scoring system was introduced to measure the accuracy of treated and untreated words and phrases as a dependent variable.
Conclusions: This study describes the first research for investigating efficacy of DTTC on AOS patients' speech and the first treatment protocol in the field of treating Persian-speaking patients with AOS.</abstract>
