Speech sounds are the inventory of sounds that we use in our speech. This includes any vowels and consonants in whichever language is being used. As children start to learn about each speech sound, they must also learn HOW to produce each sound. When there is an impairment in a speech sound(s), we as SLP's step in to help determine WHY there is an impairment, and set up a plan to effectively teach strategies for correct productions.
How do SLP's target speech sounds?
How do SLP's target speech sounds?
1. Traditional pull-out therapy - The speech-language pathologist will remove the student from the regular education setting, and provide therapy in a quiet, structured environment. This approach allows students to receive support without distraction.
2. Five Minute Speech - Otherwise known as "speedy speech", the speech-language pathologist will pick a target sound and spend 5 minutes, 2-5 days per week, targeting the sound in high frequency repetitions,
3. Push-in therapy - The speech-language pathologist will support the student within the classroom setting. This looks like: providing cues for sound productions, assessing intelligibility, monitoring conversation.
