Articulation Therapy

Articulation Therapy: Improving the Way You Speak

Articulation therapy empowers individuals to produce speech sounds clearly and accurately. It addresses difficulties pronouncing certain sounds, impacting someone’s ability to be understood.

Who Needs Articulation Therapy?

Children: This is common during speech and language development. If a child by a certain age (usually around 5-6) still struggles with specific sounds, therapy can help.
Adults: Adults might experience articulation difficulties due to various reasons like hearing loss, cleft palate, strokes, or apraxia of speech.

Commonly Targeted Sounds:

Fricatives (f, s, sh, v, z): Produced by forcing air through a narrow opening.
Plosives (p, b, t, d, k, g): Made by stopping airflow and then releasing it suddenly.
Liquids (l, r): Produced by the tongue flowing.
Glides (w, y): Made by the tongue moving smoothly.

Benefits of Articulation Therapy:

Clearer Speech: Improved sound production enhances communication and reduces frustration for both speaker and listener.
Increased Confidence: Clear speech fosters self-esteem and allows for better social interaction.
Improved Participation: Clear communication is essential for success in school and social situations.
