Hi, I'm Pranav, a speech-language pathologist.
How can a therapist help with words and sounds?
A speech therapist helps kids say sounds clearly and learn and use new words. Sessions often feel like play, with games, pictures, books and toys.
The therapist might show how to move your lips and tongue to make a sound. Watching the therapist's mouth closely helps before you try it. You might look in a mirror to see your own mouth. Then you practice the sound in words and sentences.
At the end, the therapist might give your grown-up ideas for practicing at home.
Thanks for watching!
