Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Articulation Therapy?

Articulation therapy is speech therapy that assesses what sounds are difficult for your child given their age level and then works with them to help successfully pronounce these sounds accurately.

Articulation therapy progresses from:

Correctly hearing the correct and incorrect pronouncement of a sound
Pronouncing the sound
Pronouncing the sound in syllables
Pronouncing the sound in words
Pronouncing words in phrases
Pronouncing words in sentences
Pronouncing words in conversational speech

An essential part of therapy is daily practice at home. Therapy materials and ideas will be given to the child and parent to use at home.

How long is each session?

30-45 minutes once or twice a week

How long does articulation therapy last?

It is difficult to provide a timeline. There are many factors to consider:

Number of sounds the child has to learn to pronounce
Some sounds are more difficult to learn than others
Coexisting medical, cognitive, and/or learning conditions/disabilities
Amount of practice completed outside of therapy
Child’s age

What are the benefits?

Both you and your child will feel a sense of accomplishment and relief knowing they are saying sounds properly and they are fully understood.

Do you offer any other types of speech therapy?

Yes, I worked in schools for over ten years and have expertise in speech articulation, receptive and expressive language, and social communication. I have worked with children with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder, language learning disability, selective mutism, communication disability, and dysfluency.

In addition, I am trained in programs like Social Thinking^Ⓡ, Thinking Maps^Ⓡ, Visualizing and Verbalizing^Ⓡ, and Wilson Reading System^Ⓡ.
