Articulation Therapy in Johannesburg
Articulation therapy helps children and adults who have difficulty producing speech sounds correctly. At SpeakClearly, our speech therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve clarity of speech.
What is an Articulation Disorder?
An articulation disorder occurs when a person has difficulty making certain sounds. Sounds may be substituted, left off, added, or changed. Common examples include saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit” or “thun” instead of “sun.”
Signs of Articulation Difficulties
- Speech is difficult for others to understand
- Substituting one sound for another (e.g., “w” for “r”)
- Leaving sounds off the ends of words
- Distorting sounds (e.g., a lisp)
- Frustration when not understood
- Avoiding speaking in certain situations
Age Groups We Serve
We provide articulation therapy for all ages, from toddlers learning their first sounds to adults who want to refine their speech clarity. Our approach is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
What to Expect
Therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify which sounds are affected and why. We then create a personalized treatment plan using engaging activities, games, and exercises. Sessions are available in-clinic, at school, or via teletherapy.
