Course Description | 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.

Learning Outcomes | 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
