Speech Language pathologists face the challenges of eliciting /r/, /l/, /s/,/th/, /f/. Why are these sounds so difficult to articulate for many kiddos? This course reviews each of these sounds from an oral-motor perspective and provides clear, proven techniques to readily apply in therapy sessions. Participants will be provided resource materials to add to their OPT toolbox.
