R Sound Speech Therapy

Gerald Said:

Speech Therapy Question?

We Answered:

It all depends. Lots of factor could make a difference. If they find out she has a disability. Most of these therapy is also to detect any other difficulty she may be having. My daughter went for a three month session, once a week

Elsie Said:

I can't say my r sound?? What should I do?

We Answered:

Speech therapy is fun and you will enjoy it and look forward to it.

In the meantime, try "bunching up" your tongue to make a better /r/ sound. You can bunch up your tongue by forcefully pulling your tongue and lower lip toward the back. Then you just make that "mad dog" growling sound. People have difficulty with /r/ sounds because they are not pulling their tongues back far enough or forcefully enough.

Try practicing while looking in a mirror so you can see what you are doing. Even more effective, have a friend make an /r/ sound while you watch and then try it yourself while looking in the mirror.

And don't be concerned about anyone who makes fun of you. People who tease are just insecure about themselves.

Sally Said:

Does my 5 year old need speech therapy?

We Answered:

Try to enroll her in a public school. I was in preschool years ago when they started to notice me with speech delays. I had a wonderful speech therapist who happen to retire this year from our local school department.

Some hospitals have on staff speech therapists available. Go see your pediatrician or family doctor to get a referral.

Steve Said:

What do I do about my confidence problem due to a speech problem?

We Answered:

there are a lot of languages which don't have the letter r, do they sound stupid when they try to speak english?

confidence has nothing to do with the way you speak or look, you see people who have nothing good about them but they have so much confidence that you look past their disadvantages.

if someone is talking to me, i don't care how they pronounce their words...
you should care about what you say, not how you say it.
don't let something so small get in your way.
