"As a new graduate from my program, I have a great basic overview of the effective methods to providing speech therapy. During my clinical fellowship, I really appreciated gaining first-hand experience on oral motor therapy techniques with children. The marriage between movement and sound is huge with children struggling with certain sounds and I worked with them on facial massages and other exercises to help both phonation and feeding problems."

"Coming from an inpatient hospital setting, I have strong experience working with adults that have suffered from both stroke and brain injuries. To aid in their speech therapy, I begin most treatment with tongue exercises. These exercises often help muscle memory in the tongue, making our speech therapy sessions much more productive."

Be prepared to share your most used speech therapy method. The interviewer is simply looking to understand your approach. Tell the interviewer that the method used will depend on the particular speech or language challenges. Your interviewer will be able to decipher the types of patients you see on your resume and now is a great time to talk about your therapy methods. There is no right or wrong answer here. Tell the interviewer what tricks and tools you use while treating articulation and communication issues.

"When providing speech therapy with children, motivation can be a roadblock. I like to use speech games, flash cards, toys, hand puppets to keep sessions on track and encourage my patients to work harder. By taking a fun approach with the youngsters, I find they are more engaged and progress better when engaged."
