Misarticulation Therapy
Misarticulation refers to incorrect pronunciation or distortion of speech sounds, making communication unclear or difficult to understand. It can affect children and adults, impacting daily interactions, academic performance, and self-confidence.
At Mewad Speech Therapy Hospital, our expert speech therapists specialize in diagnosing and treating misarticulation disorders, helping individuals develop clear, precise, and confident speech.
Types of Misarticulation Errors
- ✅ Substitution – Replacing one sound with another (e.g., saying "wabbit" instead of "rabbit").
- ✅ Omission – Leaving out a sound in a word (e.g., saying "bu" instead of "bus")
- ✅ Distortion – Pronouncing a sound incorrectly (e.g., slurred or unclear sounds)
- ✅ Addition – Adding an extra sound to a word (e.g., saying "balue" instead of "blue")
Our Misarticulation Therapy Approach
Our therapy sessions are personalized to each patient’s needs, focusing on correcting speech patterns and enhancing pronunciation clarity through:
- ✅ Articulation Drills & Exercises – Strengthening speech muscles and improving pronunciation
- ✅ Phonetic Placement Therapy – Teaching correct tongue, lip, and jaw positioning for clear speech sounds
- ✅ Auditory Discrimination Training – Helping individuals recognize and correct their own mispronunciations
- ✅ Repetitive Practice & Speech Drills – Encouraging fluent and accurate speech through structured exercises
- ✅ Parental Guidance & Home Practice Plans – Supporting continued improvement outside of therapy sessions
Early intervention plays a crucial role in correcting misarticulation effectively. With consistent therapy and practice, individuals can develop clear, confident speech for improved communication.
