T Reading Paragraphs

Terry's taco house.

Growing up in Texas can be hot in the summertime. Our family likes to get milkshakes to cool off. Tonight our family is going to get Texas toast, tacos, and milkshake's at "Terry's Taco House".

My dad came home from work last night and said he was craving a taco from Terry's. It is the most terrific taco place in town.

Everyone will get a taco except for my sister Tia, she will probably get a hamburger. Don't get me wrong, Terry's makes good hamburgers, but their tacos taste much better in my opinion. Tia just isn't a big taco fan.

Most of the time she would rather find an exit than eat a taco. But when she wants a taco, she gets really excited about it. She is like my dad. Dad doesn't want to eat tacos very often. But when he does, move out of his way because he will run faster than a cheetah to get a taco.

When we go to Terry's tonight, I will find us a table by the window. Terry's restaurant sits right next to a busy street and I like to watch different things that happen while we eat our tacos. I've watched people change their car tires, drive with towels on top of their car, and find a turtle in the grass.

I always look forward to being together with my family and eating at Terry's. It is fun.

Teaching Dreams

When I get older I want to be a teacher. It has to be the coolest job in the world. The trouble is that I want to teach every subject. There are so many things to teach about and I don't think schools will let teachers teach about everything.

So far my list of things I want to teach about include: Jupiter and planets, writing fairy tales, growing potatoes and tomatoes, playing tennis, boat safety, and working in a hospital. Last week our class learned about alligators - this made me want to teach about animals. Then this week, I have learned about tools and building and that makes me want to teach about construction.

My mom also asked me if I would like to learn to play the guitar a few days ago.

"Of course I do. I want to learn everything so I can teach anything," I said. I tell my parents about how cool teaching is all the time. They won't tell me, but I think they get tired hearing about all of the different things I want to teach about.

They tell me I should definitely become a teacher if I love it so much. My plan is to teach high school classes in six different subject areas. I am starting to prepare now by learning as much as I can. I read a ton. I do a lot of interviewing too. Asking people what they do has taught me so much about things I can teach.

Teacher Trouble

We had my teacher over for dinner on Saturday night. My mom said it was because we needed to make her our friend. But it was quite the disaster. Not quite as frightening as a tornado, but pretty close.

I took her coat and hat at the door and timidly showed her into the dining room to meet my dad, Tom. He stood up so quickly that he knocked his calculator and notebook off his lap and onto the carpet. He shook her hand and said, "Well now aren't you as pretty as a parrot. I'm sure my son is as bad as two - no ten, tigers in your classroom." And at that, I started choking on the peanuts I had taken from my pocket and stuffed in my mouth so I wouldn't have to talk.

I ran to the bathroom as quick as a cheetah and spit the peanuts into the tub. I was trying to wash them down with water, but I was still choking. There were tears in my eyes and my tummy started to turn. I turned around and spit the rest of the peanuts into the toilet. I quickly used some toothpaste to brush up and a tissue to wipe my face. I returned to the dining room and took my seat. Then the rest of the disaster happened.

My mom served tortillas filled with turkey, potatoes, lettuce, and butter. My teacher ate them with her tongue half-way out. I don't think she liked them. And for dessert we had what my mom calls, fruit tacos - fruit in a hard tortilla shell topped with tangerine syrup and fried in butter. They were actually pretty good. But on the last bite, my teacher turned green, swayed a little and fell on the floor.

We called the hospital and they came and got her. I took her coat and hat and laid them on top of her as they wheeled her out on a stretcher. I did not want anything left behind to remember this awful night when we had my teacher over for dinner.

This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the "T" sound.

We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.

Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.

This is not enough time  for your child to overcome an articulation disorder with the "T" sound. But with high caseloads...

...it's all SLPs can do.

There's  only so much time  in the day.

Every day that your child goes without practice  it becomes more and more difficult  to correct an "T" error because he/she continues to say it incorrectly.

We know life is busy , but if you're reading this you're probably someone who cares about helping their loved one as much as you can.

Practice 5-10 minutes whenever you can, but try to do it on a consistent basis (daily).

Please, please, please use this list to practice.

It will be a great benefit to you and your loved one's progress.

How To Say T

To say “T,” put the tip of your tongue behind your teeth. This spot is called the alveolar ridge or the “bumpy” spot.

  • Tell your child to put his/her tongue behind his/her teeth. 
  • The concept of “behind” can be tricky to grasp. If so, try to put peanut butter or yogurt on the “bumpy spot” to have him/her feel where his/her tongue should go.

Articulation Games For T

T is an earlier developing sound. Therefore, the games listed below are for younger children. Tweak them to meet the needs of your child.  Take turns with your child saying the desired words. It is important to practice  hearing  and  saying  the sound.

  • Toad - Say “toad” as you make a toad jump
  • Tag - Play tag and say “tag” as you touch someone
  • Tub - During bath, put toys in the bathtub and say “tub” as you drop them in

T and D Sounds Articulation Therapy: A Guide for Parents

Stacie bennett.

Speech-Language Pathologist , Trenton , New Jersey

Feb 13, 2022 In all of my years of being a speech pathologist, I have found that if a child has difficulty producing the /t/ sound, they will most likely have issues producing the /d/ sound.

Share

That is because both of these sounds are produced in the same location. The only difference is voicing – /t/ is voiceless and /d/ is voiced. If your child can produce a /t/ sound and not the /d/ sound you simply teach them to “turn on their voice” for the /d/ sound . Or if it is the other way around you teach them to “turn off their voice” by whispering the sound for the /t/ .

Can Your Child Lift Their Tongue Tip?

The first thing you have to look at is if your child can lift the front part of his tongue (the tip) to reach the top of his mouth. If born with a tongue tie, this will be impossible for your child to complete.

Tongue tie surgery is a very simple and common procedure that will remove the small piece of skin that is connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Once this procedure occurs, the child can lift his tongue to reach the correct placement. 

Most children, however, are just confused as to where their tongue goes. This is why most children replace the /t/ and /d/ sound with the /k/ and /g/ sounds, which are created in the back of the throat. 

Teach Your Child Where to Place the Tongue for /t/ and /d/

If lifting up the tongue tip is no problem, then it’s simply a placement issue. Show your child where their tongue should be positioned for each sound. This can be done with a mirror – it’s the most fun and effective because you can practice making silly faces. 

Make silly faces while you try this

Another way to get your child to reach that part of their mouth is to try stimulating the gums behind the front teeth (the alveolar ridge), and the tongue tip with a small toothbrush, then tell the child to place the tongue tip behind his front teeth. Once the tongue is in place, have him try to imitate a /t/ or /d/ sound all by itself. This should produce the sounds.

Teach Your Child How to Raise the Tongue for /t/ and /d/

If raising the tongue is difficult, I like to use an incentive to get the child motivated to try. I will stick things like marshmallow or peanut butter right behind their teeth. Then, I ask the child to taste the food. Obviously, in order to taste it, then they need to lift their tongue. This can be done as a game, as well.

Blind fold your child before introducing the food. They have to guess what you have on the roof of their mouth. Once the tongue tip is in place, have them try to say the /t/ or /d/ sounds. You might say, “Make the sound of a clock, t-t-t-t-t-t.” Out of all of the therapy tips and tricks I give, this is one of the most successful articulation tips I can give parents. 

Tongue Strengthening Exercises

If you are currently working with a speech pathologist, they will perform an oral motor examination prior to starting therapy. This is where they will look at all of the structures in and around the mouth area. If anything is weak, they will give exercises to do at home in order to strengthen that particular area. 

One way to work on strengthening the tongue muscle is to have the child hold a cheerio, or smartie on the alveolar ridge with his/her tongue tip. Play a game where they hold it up while you count to 10 then they can eat it. This typically works well with children who are 4 years of age and older . You can do it with smaller children – just make sure you don’t use anything that they can choke on. 

Moving Into Syllables

Once your child can produce the /t/ or /d/ sound in isolation, it’s time for you to introduce syllables. For this, have your child add vowels to the end of the sounds. For example, “to, tea, ta, ti, ate, it, aught.” You can have the sound in the beginning or end of the syllable and switch it up between /t/ and /d/.

Moving Into Words

Your child has mastered syllables and is ready to produce the sounds in words. Below are 6 links from Mommy Speech Therapy to use when working on the /d/ and /t/ sounds. Download the picture cards of words beginning with the /t/ and /d/ sounds, ending with the /t/ and /d/ sounds or with /t/ or /d/ occuring in the middle and work on them at home. I suggest making a game out of the cards – like, Bingo or Tic-Tac-Toe. 

  • /t/ in the initial position of words
  • /t/ in the medial position of words
  • /t/ in the final position of words
  • /d/ in the in initial position of words
  • /d/ in the medial position of words
  • /d/ in the final position of words

Moving Into Sentences

You’re almost through the entire hierarchy of articulation therapy . Once a child is consistently and accurately using the sounds in words, put them into sentences.

For example with /t/ words you might use the sentence “Talk to the _________.”

Fill in the blank with the initial /t/ words you have been practicing, “Talk to the tree,” or “Talk to the tiger.” It’s important to remember that your child may master one position of the sound, but not the others. It’s ok to be working on /t/ in the initial positon in sentences, but still be on syllable or word level with the other two positions . 

Stories and Conversation

The last and final step of therapy is stories and conversation. Have your child read aloud to you and talk to you about their day and what they are doing. If your child cannot read, have them make up silly stories to tell you and see how intelligible their speech is.

Once they are good talking to you in stories, then you are good to move into conversational level.  It is at this point you can correct your child if they forget to pronounce the /t/ and /d/ sounds spontaneously.

Each child will progress through therapy differently and at different rates . Don’t compare your child to anyone else’s and be patient!

If your child has difficulties with other sounds, here are the articles that can help you with speech therapy and articulation activities ideas:

135+ Voiced TH Words Speech Therapy (Free Word Lists)

Voiced th words speech therapy.

Are you a speech therapist or parent looking for voiced TH words to practice with your child or student? Then this blog is just what you need! It has over 135 voiced TH words for speech therapy that will help strengthen your child or student’s /th/ sound. 

In the world of speech therapy, mastering the “th” sound is important for clear and effective communication. As speech therapists, we know that the “th” sound is particularly essential, since it appears frequently in every day conversations, and is also one of the most common mispronounced sounds. 

By understanding and focusing on voiced “th” words in speech therapy sessions, we as speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and our clients can work together to improve speech clarity and overall language development. 

Voiced “th” sounds are created when the vocal cords vibrate and the air is pushed through the small space between the teeth and tongue. 

This unique sound can be tricky for some individuals, particularly young children and non-native English speakers who may not have been exposed to it early in life. 

This blog is just what you need when working on the pronunciation and articulation of voiced TH words! We will cover various techniques that can be employed in your speech therapy session to help clients develop and strengthen their pronunciation of voiced “th” words. 

medial-voiced-th-blog-post-cover

Key Takeaways

  • Speech therapy aims to improve the pronunciation of voiced “th” words to enhance communication.
  • Voiced “th” sounds are key components of everyday conversations, making early intervention crucial. 
  • Various teaching methods and different resource types can be employed to differentiate between voiced and voiceless “th” sounds.
  • There are additional resources listed in this post that can be used as helpful resources when working on the voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy.

Understanding Voiced Th Sounds

As a speech therapist, I found that one of the common challenges is understanding and mastering the voiced “th” sound. It seemed to be one of the most common mispronounced sounds in the past within my caseload. 

To cover the basics – the voiced “th” sounds occur when the vocal cords vibrate during the production of the sound. This is in contrast to voiceless “th” sounds, which do not involve vocal cord vibration. 

To begin, it’s crucial to know that an articulation disorder occurs when a person has difficulty producing speech sounds correctly. This can happen for various reasons, including structural abnormalities in the oral cavity, weak oral muscles, or delayed motor speech development. For voiced “th” sounds, the focus is primarily on the correct tongue placement and vocal cord vibration.

Correct Production

  • Tongue Placement: To produce a clear voiced “th” sound, have your student or child place the tip of their tongue between the upper and bottom teeth. 
  • Airflow: The tongue should rest gently against the teeth, allowing for free airflow.
  • Vocal Cords: As the vocal cords vibrate, a continuous voiced sound should be produced.
  • Tip: During this process, they should feel a slight vibration in their throat, indicating that the vocal cords are engaged appropriately.

As I worked with clients, one technique I found helpful was practicing voiced “th” in various positions. 

This post will give you over 135 words, phrases and sentences in initial, medial and final positions to practice. I suggest starting with simple words and gradually progressing to more complex phrases and sentences. 

Additionally, reading books aloud that contain voiced “th” sounds can provide valuable practice and help increase awareness of how “th” sounds in everyday speech and conversations.

The Importance of Early Intervention

As speech therapists and speech-language pathologists, we understand the crucial role early intervention plays in helping children overcome speech difficulties, especially with voiced “th” sounds. 

One of the main reasons is that early intervention allows us to address speech and language delays during the critical period of a child’s development. Research consistently demonstrates that early intervention can significantly improve outcomes in communication skills, social interactions, and academic success. 

Working in Early Intervention

When working with children who have a hard time pronouncing voiced “th” sounds, our goal as speech therapists should be to provide specialized techniques and activities tailored to our child’s needs. 

This will help them improve their speech and gain confidence in their ability to communicate. Early intervention helps us identify and address these issues as soon as possible, giving the child the best chance for success in their speech development.

interactice-initial-voiced-th

Working with Families

Collaborating with family members is an essential aspect of early intervention programs for voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy. I loved working closely with parents and caregivers to create a supportive and nurturing environment that encouraged the child to practice their newfound skills. 

Creating strong communication between the family and other teams such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, a special education teacher or general ed teacher will help reinforce the therapy techniques applied during sessions in many different ways and allows the child to progress more quickly.

In conclusion, early intervention is always important when working on different sounds, but especially voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy.

Methods for Teaching Voiced ‘Th’ Words

  • Mouth Position

The first step in teaching voiced ‘th’ words is to ensure the proper mouth position. 

To avoid speech errors, start by helping the child:

  • Tongue: place their tongue between the upper and lower front teeth while making the voiced th sound. 
  • Tongue Tip: The tongue tip should be just visible or approach the inner surface of the upper front teeth. 
  • Tip: I always reminded my students that the difference between voiceless and voiced th is the vibration they feel in their vocal cords. 

Word lists are a valuable tool when teaching voiced ‘th’ words, and so I have created a list of 135 ‘th’ words at the word, phrase and sentence level. 

You can also encourage your student or child to go through this list of words and practice reading or repeating the words aloud, while focusing on the correct pronunciation of the “th” sound. 

  • Fun Activities

Playing games and using activities in our speech therapy sessions is a great way to engage children and make learning fun. 

Below in this post, we have curated a list of fun and free resources to use with your students and child to practice the target sound “th” in different ways! 

We have resource types for home practice, early intervention, older students, independent work etc.

Differentiating Between Voiced and Voiceless ‘Th’ Sounds

As a speech-language pathologist, I learned quickly how important it is to understand the different speech sounds between voiced and voiceless “th”. 

The different sounds can create some confusion, but our students will be able to master their target sound and improve their speech and pronunciation with the guidance from our speech therapy sessions.

Voiced ‘th’ sounds occur when the voice box is turned on during pronunciation. 

They often appear in function words, such as “this,” “that,” “then,” and “there.” 

Voiceless TH

In contrast, voiceless ‘th’ sounds happen when your voice box is turned off. 

One way to differentiate between these sounds is by placing your fingers gently on your throat while pronouncing various ‘th’ words. You’ll feel vibrations in your throat while producing the voiced ‘th’ sound and no vibrations for the voiceless ‘th’ sound.

Voiced vs Voiceless TH

The only difference between these two sounds is the use of vocal cords. 

In both cases, you must place your tongue slightly between your teeth and blow air. To better understand the distinction, use these examples of different words with voiced and voiceless ‘th’ sounds. 

Some examples of voiced ‘th’ words are “then,” “these,” and “though,” while voiceless ‘th’ words are “think,” “thirteen,” and “thumb.”

Word Positions: Voiced TH Words Speech Therapy 

Practicing at initial, medial and final levels is a great way to help improve an articulation disorder and achieve clearer speech. 

To help our clients improve their speech, we should work with them on target words in all positions. This enables them to practice the correct pronunciation of the voiced TH sound no matter where it appears in a word.

Initial Position of Words

The initial position of words refers to when the TH sound is at the beginning of a word, such as “that” or “this”. 

Medial Position of Words

Medial position refers to when the TH sound appears in the middle of a word, such as “father”, “another”, and “leather”.

Final Positions of Words

Final positions of words, on the other hand, occur when the TH sound is at the end of a word, like in “bathe” or “breathe”. This position can be challenging for some clients as it requires sustaining the TH sound through the end of the word.

Grab our medial voiced th words list, grab our final voiced th words list, frequently asked questions, what are some common voiced th words.

Some common voiced TH words include “the”, “this”, “that”, “there”, and “they”. These words require vocal fold vibration while articulating the TH sound. Practice these words individually or in phrases to improve your voiced TH sound production.

How can I practice voiced th sounds in sentences?

To practice voiced TH sounds in sentences, start by creating simple phrases that include voiced TH words, such as “The dog is playing” or “They are jumping”. Gradually increase the complexity of your sentences, focusing on maintaining accurate pronunciation of the TH sound. 

What is the difference between voiced and unvoiced TH?

The primary difference between voiced and unvoiced TH is the presence of vocal fold vibration. Voiced TH sounds, like in “this” or “those”, involve vibration of the vocal folds, while unvoiced TH sounds, like in “think” or “through”, do not. The tongue position for both types of TH sounds is the same, with the tip of the tongue lightly touching the upper teeth.

How can I find a list of medial voiced th words?

Finding a list of medial voiced TH words can be helpful for targeted practice. One resource for such a list is available above if you simply scroll back up which provides TH word lists for speech therapy, including medial voiced TH words.

What strategies are used in speech therapy for voiced th sounds?

In speech therapy for voiced TH sounds, there are several strategies, including visual cues, modeling, and tactile cues. Visual cues involve showing the correct tongue placement between the teeth, while modeling entails demonstrating the correct pronunciation for the client to imitate. Tactile cues involve providing gentle touch prompts to direct the placement of the tongue. Another approach is using word lists, phrases, and reading passages designed to target the voiced TH sound.

Can you provide examples of final th words?

Final th words are words that have the TH sound at the end of the word. Some examples of final voiced TH words include “breathe”, “bathe”, “clothe”, and “smooth”. Practicing these words individually and in sentences can help to improve your ability to properly articulate the voiced TH sound in various positions within words.

People with certain medical conditions may also benefit from speech therapy. Medical conditions that may cause speech or swallowing impairment include traumatic brain injury , stroke (brain damage due to a blood vessel blockage or bleed), and dementia (decline in memory and thinking functions).

This article looks at the various uses for speech therapy, what to expect during a session, and the techniques involved in this type of therapy. 

Verywell / Theresa Chiechi

Speech therapy can help with a variety of conditions.

Speech Disorders

Speech therapy may help with speech disorders like:

  • Stuttering : Stuttering may involve repeating parts of words, prolonging words, or struggling to get out certain words. You may be more likely to have a stutter if you have a family history of stuttering.
  • Apraxia : This motor speech disorder makes it difficult to move the tongue and lips to make sounds required for speech. In some cases, people with apraxia cannot speak at all. Causes for this disorder include brain tumors, dementia, stroke, and any other condition that causes brain injury.
  • Voice : Voice disorders can be temporary or permanent and make it hard to speak. Chronic voice disorders include chronic cough, vocal fold paralysis, vocal polyps (growths on the vocal cords), and spasmodic dysphonia (vocal cord spasms).
  • Dysarthria : People with this speech disorder have muscle weakness that makes it difficult to talk. They may slur or mumble their words. Dysarthria can happen due to brain injury or chronic degenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease or Huntington’s disease .

Language Disorders

A language disorder ( aphasia ) is a condition that makes it difficult for a person to read, write, speak, or understand speech or other modes of communication. 

Someone with this type of disorder may struggle to:

  • Use incorrect words for things
  • Say complete sentences 
  • Understand what other people say
  • Understand jokes
  • Read or spell 

Brain tumors, traumatic brain injuries, and degenerative disorders that affect cognitive function can all cause aphasia.

Feeding and Swallowing Disorders

Feeding and swallowing disorders can occur in both children and adults. A feeding disorder involves trouble with eating, sucking, drinking from a cup, or chewing. The specific term for swallowing disorders is dysphagia . Children or adults with dysphagia have trouble swallowing food or drink. 

Problems swallowing or feeding may or may not be related to a medical condition. Conditions that may cause a swallowing or feeding disorder include:

  • Cleft palate or cleft lip
  • Asthma and other breathing issues
  • Heart disease
  • Premature birth
  • Nervous system disorders
  • Reflux 
  • Muscle weakness 
  • Sensory issues
  • Autism  
  • Behavior problems
  • Certain medications

Speech therapy begins with an evaluation to assess your difficulties and whether any structural issues contribute to your speech, language, feeding, or swallowing problems. An evaluation may involve a standardized test to help determine what you most need help with. Informal conversations may also help figure out your needs. 

A speech-language pathologist will then work with you to help improve your ability to speak, converse, or swallow. This may involve:

  • Educating you on how to do certain things like articulating or pronouncing sounds
  • Teaching you language skills
  • Providing you with educational materials
  • Giving you exercises to help strengthen your muscles 
  • Giving you exercises that help you breathe better
  • Participation in group therapy sessions 

You should also expect to practice the skills and exercises you learn in speech therapy sessions at home. Your speech-language pathologist may provide you with workbooks, worksheets, or virtual apps for at-home practice.

Speech Therapy for Adults

Depending on the reason you’re seeking out speech therapy, a speech-language pathologist may:

  • Help you learn to move your muscles correctly to make sounds if you have apraxia or dysarthria
  • Teach you how to use your breath to speak louder if you have dysarthria
  • Help you learn to manage stuttering by teaching you to lower stress levels in certain situations
  • Help you strengthen your mouth muscles to make it easier to swallow and eat if you have a feeding or swallowing disorder due to a brain injury or disease

Speech Therapy for Children

A speech-language pathologist’s approach will depend on the child. When working with a child who has a feeding or swallowing disorder, they might focus on:

  • Strengthening the muscles of the mouth
  • Helping the child with chewing
  • Encouraging the child to try new food and drink
  • Changing food texture to make it easier to swallow food 
  • Helping with sensory issues related to food

Other skills a speech-language pathologist may work on with a child include:

  • Language complexity : For example, they might teach words like "and" and "or" to connect ideas within sentences.
  • Conversation skills : This may include role-playing to help the child with socialization and improve their read of social cues. 
  • Vocabulary : They may use games or storytelling to help build the child’s vocabulary. 
  • Phonological awareness : This recognition of the sounds that make up words is an important skill for reading. The SLP may work on helping the child identify sounds and rhymes in words to build this skill.

Healthcare professionals will also test your child’s hearing to see if hearing loss may be contributing to language and speech issues.

If you or your child is getting speech therapy from a qualified speech-language pathologist, you might wonder how likely it is that you’ll see improvement in speech, language, or feeding. 

Results will depend on the individual. It’s also essential to follow the exercises, tips, and strategies provided by the speech-language professional. Regular visits and keeping up with practice activities and exercises make it more likely to see an improvement in yourself or your child. 

A speech-language pathologist works with children or adults who have speech, language, or feeding and swallowing disorders. Typically the first session will involve an evaluation to determine the areas that are causing you the most problems. 

From there, they may teach you exercises and strategies to improve your speech, language, or ability to swallow and eat. 

A Word From Verywell

Think you or your child would benefit from speech therapy? Get in touch with your primary healthcare provider and ask for a recommendation. You can also use the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s (ASHA)  Find a Certified SLP Tool . 

Not all children develop at the same rate, but if your child has issues understanding language, doesn’t use gestures, or doesn’t seem to be learning new words, you might consider having them evaluated by a speech therapist. 

While this may depend on the individual and the cause of speech-related problems, research suggests that speech and language therapy can significantly improve speech and language issues.

One example of a typical speech therapy technique is articulation therapy. This technique teaches the person to make specific sounds, sometimes by showing them how to move their mouth or tongue.

A language delay is when a child has difficulty in speaking and understanding speech that is unusual for their age.

What Is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a form of healthcare that helps improve communication and speech. It can also help improve swallowing function and other behaviors related to feeding.

About one in 12 children in the United States has a speech or swallowing disorder. Disorders are most common in young children, but many adults have a related condition. For example, about one million adults in the United States have aphasia (difficulty expressing or comprehending written and verbal language).

Speech therapists (STs) or speech-language pathologists (SLPs) assess and treat people of all ages. They use various techniques to help people with challenges related to speech production, language comprehension, hearing, voice quality, fluency, and swallowing. 

What Does Speech Therapy Treat?

Speech therapy treats various disorders involving hearing, speech, language, literacy, social communication, voice quality, executive functioning (for example, memory and problem-solving), feeding, and swallowing.

Specific speech disorders include:

  • Articulation disorders: Difficulty pronouncing words or sounds such as the “s” sound (for example, saying “thun” rather than “sun”). This can occur during childhood language development or with structural problems like tongue-tie. A tongue tie is when a small band of skin connects the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. It is congenital, meaning it's present at birth.
  • Dysarthria: Slow, slurred, or unclear speech. This occurs with oral (mouth) muscle control decline due to neurological conditions (related to the brain or nervous system), such as multiple sclerosis (MS) —a condition that occurs when the immune system attacks myelin, the covering wrapped around nerve cells.
  • Apraxia: Knowing what you want to say but having difficulty producing the correct sounds or words. Apraxia can cause slow, error-prone speech or the need to intentionally move your tongue and lips in order to produce sounds and words. Apraxia can be present at birth, but it can also occur as a result of brain injuries, brain tumors , or a stroke .
  • Fluency disorders: Speech flow disruptions like stuttering. Stuttering is experiencing interruptions in speech and repeating sounds, syllables, or words. Researchers are still exploring possible causes of dysfluency, but they seem to include genetics, developmental components, neurological factors (how the brain processes), and brain injury. Many children outgrow fluency disorders, but they can persist into adulthood.
  • Voice disorders: Vocal cord spasming (choppy voice), hoarseness, pitch problems, or voice fatigue are examples of voice disorders. This can result from infection, overusing the vocal cords, or neurological disorders. 

Language or communication disorders include:

  • Aphasia : Aphasia is a language disorder in which you have difficulty expressing or comprehending written and verbal language. Receptive aphasia is difficulty understanding written or verbal words. Expressive aphasia is difficulty communicating thoughts and ideas with language components like vocabulary, grammar, and sentence formation. Aphasia can occur with childhood development, language impairment, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), brain injury, or neurological disorders.
  • Pragmatic language disorder: This relates to social communication. Signs include misunderstanding social cues like eye contact, body language, and personal space. It can occur during childhood development or with underlying neurodivergence (brain variation), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) , a brain development condition that affects how a person perceives and socializes with other people.
  • Accent or tone: While this is not a disorder, speech therapists can also work with people who wish to modify their accent or an unusual speech rhythm, pitch, or tone. For example, a high-pitched, sing-song, or robotic tone can occur with ASD.
  • Executive functioning: Executive functioning challenges include difficulty with memory, planning, organization, problem-solving, and attention. This can occur due to brain injuries or conditions like ASD and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention (being distracted), hyperactivity (feeling restless), and impulsivity (making hasty decisions).
  • Auditory processing disorder: This is a neurological condition that makes it difficult to make sense of sounds. 

Feeding and swallowing disorders affect how you suck, chew, and swallow food and drinks. Difficulty swallowing is also known as dysphagia , which can result in choking during meals—and lung infections if food or liquid enters the airways. It can occur with structural abnormalities, muscular weakness, or neurological conditions like a stroke.

How Does Speech Therapy Work?

Speech therapy involves techniques like language practice, pronunciation exercises, voice therapy, and swallowing exercises. It begins with a thorough assessment, including observation of communication strategies, challenges, and frustrations.

Speech therapy for infants, toddlers, and children involves fun and engaging activities like play, language exercises, reading, picture cards, and modeling correct sounds. This helps make learning more enjoyable. 

Parents or caregivers often attend sessions and learn ways to support children at home. The ST or SLP will tailor the treatment plan to the child’s developmental stage. Early recognition and intervention (treatment) can help improve outcomes.

With adults, the ST or SLP will begin with an assessment to identify specific challenges. They will then create a specific care plan that addresses underlying concerns such as:

  • Medical conditions
  • Accent modification
  • Voice challenges
  • Pronunciation
  • Conversational language
  • Problem-solving
  • Memory exercises

What To Expect During Speech Therapy

Speech therapy can occur in a class, small group, online, or one-on-one. Speech therapists typically assign exercises to practice at home in order to reinforce what you learn. Activities might include:

  • Vocal warm-ups like humming 
  • Tongue twisters to improve articulation
  • Breaking words into syllables to improve clarity
  • Contrasting word exercises—for example, "ship" versus "sheep"
  • “Pausing” practice (for stuttering)
  • Repetition after listening to a native speaker 
  • Repetition exercises for sounds like “s” 
  • Speech rate control—for example, by tapping hands to a beat
  • Pitch exercises
  • Breathing and posture exercises

Receptive language exercises include:

  • Memory or problem-solving exercises
  • Reading comprehension (similar to a book report)
  • Speech supplementation (written, gestural, voice amplifier, speech-generating devices)
  • Word association
  • Communication partner exercises, such as practicing eye contact and active listening

Exercises for swallowing and feeding include:

  • Diet modification (pureed to solid foods)
  • Oral muscle strengthening (like tongue “push-ups”)
  • Swallowing exercises

Benefits of Speech Therapy

One of the main goals of speech therapy is to enhance a person’s ability to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions effectively. This can lead to a greater sense of self-expression, meaningful interactions with others, and less frustration. Other benefits include:

  • Greater self-confidence: Gaining more control over language and communication can increase confidence and boost self-esteem. As a result, you might be more willing and excited to engage in social activities. 
  • Improved academic or professional performance: Clear speech and language can lead to enhanced skills in comprehension, reading, and writing. This can support academic success. Better articulation, language, and presentation abilities can help with career development.
  • Greater independence: Speech therapy can lead to greater self-reliance, especially if you have severe communication challenges. For example, augmented and alternative communication (AAC) methods , such as speech-generating devices (SGDs), can allow you to express yourself more independently.

How Successful Is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy's “success” depends on your goals. The meaning of success can vary based on your underlying communication or medical condition and its severity, as well as your motivation and commitment to therapy, the therapist's expertise, and your support systems. The time it takes to reach your goals also varies based on underlying factors like these.

For example, you may define success as improved pronunciation, or you may work towards more effective communication, more skilled accent modification, or swallowing without choking. If you stutter, your goal might be improved fluency or feeling more comfortable communicating openly with a stutter. For most people, what’s most important is to set realistic expectations and recognize that any improvement in communication is a success.

How To Find a Speech Therapist

A qualified speech therapist or speech-language pathologist holds a master's degree in speech-language pathology and state licensure to practice in your area. You can find speech therapists in settings like:

  • Home health agencies
  • Rehabilitation centers
  • Private practice
  • Telehealth (online)

You can also ask for recommendations from healthcare providers or school personnel who may know local speech therapists. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) also offers an online directory of certified speech therapies to help you locate someone in your area.

Check with your health insurance provider to see if they cover speech therapy. They can provide you with information about your co-payments and deductibles. If your insurance doesn't cover the cost, the clinic or speech therapist may offer payment plans. Some children may also qualify for:

  • Individualized education programs (IEPs) that cover speech therapy costs as a service from the school district
  • Early intervention (EI) or Preschool on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) programs for infants and toddlers for little or no cost to families
  • State and federal programs, like Medicaid
  • Financial assistance programs from non-profit and advocate organizations

A Quick Review

Speech therapy is a specialized healthcare field in which trained professionals help improve speech, language, hearing, swallowing, and feeding for people of all ages. Speech therapists (STs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) thoroughly assess and develop specific treatment plans for a wide range of conditions including difficulty communicating or processing language, stuttering, and voice disorders.

Speech therapy takes place in locations like schools, hospitals, and private practice. It can be one-on-one or in a group setting. Success depends on underlying factors such as the severity of the condition. It also depends on personal goals and your definition of success—which can vary widely from person to person.

Many people who have speech therapy experience powerful benefits that affect them in nearly every aspect of life, including greater self-confidence and self-reliance.
