How can an SLP help?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Speech therapists are trained and gain experience on helping clients reach their speech sound goals. Depending on the type of errors, the approach may focus more on motor production or linguistic aspects. After the assessment is completed and goals are determined, the first step in speech sound therapy is to make sure the child knows the target sound and can differentiate it from others (when working on \/r\/, can they hear the difference between \u2018run\u2019 and \u2018one\u2019?). Then establishing the production through practice and generalizing it to more difficult contexts. Once the goals have been reached the speech therapist can back off while parents continue to practice and maintain the gains in everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why call me?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a good choice to help with you or your child\u2019s speech sound disorder because I have experience with assessment and treatment with all the types of speech sound disorders mentioned above. I\u2019m able to administer an articulation assessment virtually or in person using a combination of formal assessments and informal tools. I make client specific treatment goals so our time together has the greatest impact. Within the session I work hard to motivate so we can get a lot of repetition in. I do this by incorporating interests to increase engagement and providing supportive feedback to increase intelligibility. Please contact me to discuss treatment options and strategies I can offer you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
