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 perspectiveand provides clear, proven techniques to readily apply in therapy sessions. Participants will be provided resource materials to add to their OPT toolbox.

Upon course completion, participants will be able to:
1. Identify articulation issues associated with /r/, /l/, /s/, /th/, /f/
2. Apply 3 techniques to correct articulation issues with these sounds
3. Describe carryover strategies to parents and the client's therapy team for long-term success
