Speech therapists can help children with articulation disorders to say sounds correctly by teaching them how to use their tongue, lips, and teeth correctly. Some children may need physical therapy techniques that teach hand movements for speech patterns. These techniques may include the use of dental appliances, such as palatal lifts and oral motor exercises (such as blowing through a straw).
A final option for speech therapy is the use of special equipment to make it easier for the child to talk. For example, many children with cerebral palsy may benefit from using a speech-generating device, which allows them to speak without moving their mouth. A speech-generating device consists of an interface (called a screen) on which the child can type or read words that appear when they speak. Another common device is called a vocoder, which uses sound waves to convert the sound into text so it can be read by someone who does not speak English fluently.
Speech therapy is a form of communication and language therapy focused on speech production, as well as its underlying psychological, neurological, and physical factors. Speech therapists help patients who have speech or language problems due to developmental disorders, strokes, brain injuries, hearing loss, emotional issues, and other medical conditions.

Speech therapy can help children with articulation disorders to speak correctly by teaching them how to use their tongues, lips, and teeth correctly. It can also help children who stutter or have difficulty pronouncing words correctly. In addition, speech therapists can teach children how to pronounce sounds correctly using physical therapy techniques that teach hand movements for speech patterns. For example, a child may need dental appliances such as palatal lifts or oral motor exercises (such as blowing through a straw) to learn the correct way of making certain sounds.
Articulation disorders are when a child has difficulty making certain sounds or pronouncing words correctly. Articulation disorders can be due to various causes, such as cleft lip and palate, tongue tie, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability and developmental delay.
