Apraxia Therapy: The Relief That Comes From Talking Better

Apraxia Therapy

How do you spell relief for a corporate speaker who realizes she has difficulty saying specific speech sounds and is contstantly reminded of that by her business team.

A few months ago a trainer of corporate executives spoke with me about a speaking concern.  She had difficulty producing specific sounds of speech and her videographer had remarked about speech sound distortions that were present in her video recordings.  

She indeed had an articulation difficulty but no need for apraxia therapy.  Articulation is the accurate production of the sounds of speech when they are formed by the lips, teeth, tongue and mouth.  If the tongue or surrounding structures makes any inaccurate movements, the sound will not come out clearly; it will become either distorted or omitted from within the word spoken which includes those sounds.  

She asked if there was any help for a problem such as that, and she was immediately shown how to position the tongue correctly for the errored sound.  Within a few days she was saying the sounds correctly and was totally focused on making sure that her speech was impeccable within conversation!   No apraxia therapy!

Corporate Executives and professionals are in the public eye constantly and their speech should reflect their personality.  Impeccable, accurate, focused, and clear.  

She no longer has any hesitation or concern about her speaking which has now freed her up to focus all her attention on the message and connecting with clients and new prospects.  She's very happy now to have mastered her speaking concern and has a new appreciation for fellow professionals who help improve the ability to speak and share powerful messages.
