Proven Speech Therapy Tips for
Your Child
 Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
 Research reveals when children have frequent one-on one therapy (three to five
times weekly), the best results are realized. Group therapy may be implemented
after initial successes.
 Stuttering
 When a child avoids talking, changes words and/or uses extra sounds to get
started, stutters with considerable tension and effort, or stutters on more than
10% of their speech, they would benefit greatly from having sessions with a
speech therapist.
 Dysarthria
 The only treatment for dysarthria is speech-language therapy. These treatments
may include exercises to strengthen jaw and mouth muscles, learning ways to
speak slower, and learning to control breath to make the voice louder.
 Phonemic Disorder
 Phonemic disorders are frequently treated using minimal pairs (two words
which differ by one sound) to draw the child's attention to the difference and its
effect on communication.
