Treatment: Speech Therapy
A speech-language pathologist can tailor a specific program based on individual needs. Family participation is an integral part of the therapy.
Therapists use a variety of strategies, including:
Articulation therapy: Articulation, or sound production, exercises involve having the therapist model correct sounds and syllables for a child, often during play activities. The level of play is age-appropriate and related to the child’s specific needs.
Oral-motor/feeding and swallowing therapy: The SLP will use a variety of oral exercises — including facial massage and various tongue, lip, and jaw exercises — to strengthen the muscles of the mouth.
