"As a new graduate, my Master's program did a great job of training me in articulation therapy. I didn't get the chance to work directly with children during my clinical fellowship, but I know the process well. To begin, working with the person on making the sound individually in isolation while working with them on how to mouth the sound. From there, it is important to then progress the person through sounding it out in syllables, words, sentences and conversation consecutively."

"Having worked with adult populations for a long time, I don't get the frequency of working with patients on articulation therapy that I would working with school aged children. I've had some stroke patients that I found articulation therapy to be effective with when they were on the road to communication recovery. By progressively working with them on the sounds that they are struggling with, I've seen great progress using the technique when needed."

As a Speech Therapist, articulation is one of the milestones to accomplish with your clients. Tell the interviewer about the steps you follow during the process of articulation therapy. Of course, the work doesn't stop with you. Tell the interviewer about the lesson plans that you send home with parents to the therapy can continue at home.

"My patients may suffer from hearing loss, apraxia, oral motor deficits, sensory issues or phonological processes. Articulation therapy is essential to improving their speech and developing their language. I've worked one on one with patients as well as built lesson plans for families to work upon."
