Did you know there are different types of speech sound disorders?

Two children may both be hard to understand but the reason their speech is breaking down can be very different. Difficulties may involve producing individual sounds, organizing sound patterns, planning speech movements, or controlling those movements.

šŸ”Ž That’s why differential diagnosis matters.

Identifying the type of speech sound disorder helps us understand what’s driving the errors and, most importantly, choose a treatment approach that actually targets the underlying difficulty.

Floor puzzle mats are one of my favorite therapy tools because they get kids up and moving while creating tons of opportunities for repetitive practice. Every piece is another chance to say the target word, practice a sound, or work on a speech movement without it feeling like drills.

Sometimes the easiest way to teach a difficult sound is to stop teaching it in isolation.

For children learning vocalic /ar/, I often use coarticulation by pairing it with a word that naturally helps shape the movement. Instead of practicing ā€œcarā€ by itself, we’ll say ā€œcar redā€ as one smooth phrase.

The /r/ at the beginning of red helps ā€œpullā€ the tongue into the correct position for the vocalic /ar/, making it easier to feel and produce. Once that movement becomes more consistent, we gradually fade the extra word until the child can say ā€œcarā€ accurately on its own.

ā€œI just wish he would tell me when he needs help.ā€

Instead of waiting until they’re frustrated, create fun opportunities throughout the day where they naturally need your assistance. The more meaningful the moment, the more likely they are to learn that ā€œhelpā€ is a powerful word!

Remember: your child doesn’t have to say the word perfectly. Gestures, sign language, sounds, and attempting the word are a great start!

Respond enthusiastically, model the correct word back (ā€œHelp! You need help!ā€), and keep the interaction fun and low pressure.
