Articulation therapy addresses errors in the production of speech sounds. A target sound is worked on either alone or alongside similar sounds (like s and z). Once a sound is corrected in isolation, therapy progresses through production at syllable, word, phrase, sentence, and conversation levels.

Stuttering/fluency therapy is best when administered as a dynamic and responsive collaboration between the therapist and client. Giving clients agency, as they explore and evaluate various therapy modalities, helps them learn the tools needed for increased fluency and/or increased confidence in their communication abilities. The ultimate goal is for the client to be able to say what they want to say, without avoidance, substitution, or unnecessary stress.
