Articulation therapy typically involves a series of structured sessions with a speech-language pathologist (SLP). The process begins with an evaluation to identify specific issues. Based on the assessment, the SLP develops a customized therapy plan. Techniques may include:
- Auditory discrimination exercises to help children distinguish between different sounds. - Repetition and imitation exercises to practice correct pronunciation. - Phonetic placement techniques to teach the correct positions of the tongue, lips, and teeth.
