An articulation disorder occurs when an individual has trouble with producing specific sounds. For example, a person may substitute sounds or leave out parts of a word. An individual could even change part of the word or add sounds to the word.
After viewing therapy for articulation disorders, I concluded that the SLP will target the specific sounds that the patient is having problems producing. For example, in this specific video clip, the child is fronting her velars, so the SLP wants to target the velar sounds. The SLP provides a tub of fun toys and suggests that the child practices pronouncing the sounds and the name of the toy that she wants to play with. Incorporating activities into therapy will encourage the child to participate. …show more content…
The goal is for the patient to recognize where their pitch level is, so they can work toward continuing a more correct sound. By using a device that measures pitch levels, the patient can see the target pitch and then compares it to the patient’s pitch level. SLPs also recommend for the patient to laugh and clear their throat during therapy in order to redirect their phonation.
Fluency disorders, such as stuttering, disrupts the smoothness of speech and communication. Stuttering involves repeating phrases or words, and can affect daily activities such as talking on the phone, presentations, and even in the working environment.
Stuttering can be fairly common in young children. In this particular video, the SLP is having the child work on changing bumpy words into smooth words. The SLP suggests that the child should knock on the table to help sound out words and increase smooth word production. In this clip, the child is positively rewarded when he does not stutter.
Alternative and Augmentative Communication devices are used for patients who have difficulty producing speech. They can be low tech or high tech devices and range from picture boards to speech generating
