Where does the tongue go?
Pick a sound and watch the tongue move into place.
As your child starts learning to speak, they may use certain speech sounds that are not correct for the word they are saying. While this is usually part of speech development, some find it more difficult than others to overcome them.
Some children also develop speech sound or articulation disorders. Speech therapy focused on articulation helps your child learn proper pronunciation through a gradual progression from letters to sentences to conversations.
Articulation can help your child communicate more clearly and accurately. Proper pronunciation will reduce the need to repeat themselves and will help motivate them to speak with others. Early intervention for speech sound and articulation disorders once they are observed is essential. You may recognize the articulation challenges when your child shows these signs:
Helping with pronunciation is a personalized program and our speech-language pathologists will assist in helping your child with their particular challenges. You may also book a consultation to discuss more on your child’s specific needs.
Our pediatric speech therapists will aid you in supporting the development of your child’s pronunciation and articulation skills so they can be part of everyday situations in their life. You are a crucial part of a more holistic approach to speech therapy.
