What is Speech Therapy

Speech therapy helps children speak and pronounce words. The therapist uses facial expressions to express sounds. The lip movement helps the child learn to speak. The therapist points out the lip movement so the child will pay attention. This show the child how to guide their lips to help them enunciate. The therapist uses items familiar to the child. From the ABA Therapy, the child has the label in his/her brain. The speech mythologist frequently checks the child's form of communication. It could be a  computer or a paper book.
