"How to Deliver an Articulation Program"
Articulation Skills refer to the motor skills a person uses to pronounce the sounds of English. Also known as speech clarity, including how we produce individual vowel and consonant sounds with the mouth. Articulation refers to the way speech sounds are combined to form whole words.
Articulation skills impact how easily a child or adult can be understood when speaking in sentences.
Poor articulation may result in communication difficulties, social withdrawal or negative behaviour outbursts.
