What is articulation disorder?

Articulation disorder: It is the incorrect production of sounds, syllables and words. We make more efforts to understand children with articulation disorders, and these disorders affect the child's school and social life.

What are articulation studies?

You can support children's articulation studies with activities such as laryngeal movements (spitting, swallowing water, gargling, coughing from the throat). Now we will share with you some of the language development exercise applications.

Activation of speech organs:

To suck; Drinking different beverages using straw. If the child cannot hold the cane in his mouth, the mouth of the cane can be thickened by wrapping a rubber band around the cane or supporting it with different things.

Blowing out: blowing out candles, blowing pieces of broken napkin, blowing bubbles, blowing with flute, moving ping pong ball by blowing.

Chewing: This is hard work. Constant practice must be done. Chewing gum is an example.

Language exercises: A food that the child likes (chocolate, etc.) is extended towards the child, it is waited for the child to stick out his tongue. For tongue direction exercises, the child can be allowed to lick by applying it to the upper lip, lower lip and the sides of the lip.

Lip movements: Facial movements (laughing, kissing, sneezing, etc.) can be imitated by the child. Ask the child to imitate by sitting in front of the mirror with the child and making different lip movements.

we can ask. In addition to these, lip rolling movements can be made with the letters a, o.

After the speech organs are prepared, first of all, you should start working with lip sounds. It is better to do these with the help of a specialist. These voices are; P,M,N,V,F,O,O,I,S,T,U,H,L,Z.

It is very important to do exercises in articulation studies. We need to do enough of these exercises. Then, when the child learns to pronounce the sound, we should not immediately switch to another sound. The child should be given exercises to say these sounds at the beginning, middle and end.
