Don't worry, Navjeevan's Articulation Therapy can help you speak clearly and be understood with ease!
Imagine This
Think of articulation therapy as giving your mouth some fun exercises! It helps you train your tongue and lips to make sounds correctly, so you can communicate effectively and avoid frustration for yourself and the people you talk to.
Who Needs Articulation Therapy?
- Growing Communicators: It’s perfectly normal for young children to have trouble with some sounds as they’re learning to speak. If your child is past 5-6 years old and still struggles with certain sounds, like pronouncing “chappal” clearly, therapy can help!
- Adults Can Benefit Too: Sometimes, adults can develop articulation difficulties due to hearing loss, cleft palate, strokes, or even apraxia of speech (a condition where the brain has trouble sending messages to the muscles that control speech). Therapy can help adults regain clear communication.
Sounds We Can Help You Master
- Fricatives (f, s, sh, v, z): These are the breezy sounds made by forcing air through a narrow opening in your mouth, like the sounds in “phuchka” or “samosa.”
- Plosives (p, b, t, d, k, g): These are the sharp sounds created by stopping airflow and then releasing it suddenly, like in “pani,” “batasha,” “tikli,” or “gaadi.”
- Liquids (l, r): These flowing sounds involve the tongue moving in specific ways, like in “lassi” or “rain.”
- Glides (w, y): These smooth sounds are made by the tongue moving quickly, like in “well” or “yoyo.”
Benefits of Articulation Therapy
- Speak Clearly: Improve your sound production for better communication and less frustration.
- Boost Confidence: Clear speech builds self-esteem and lets you connect with others more easily.
- Shine in All Situations: Clear communication is key to success in school, work, and social settings.
