TEEN SPEECH THERAPY

Speech Sounds

Speech therapy can support teens with ongoing articulation or pronunciation challenges that impact clarity and self-esteem.

Unlock Clear Communication

Many teens struggle with unclear speech caused by common issues like lisps or difficulty pronouncing “r” sounds. Speech therapy targets tongue placement and airflow retraining, helping teens rebuild correct sound production from the ground up.

Why Clear Speech Matters

When teens struggle with pronunciation, it can cause misunderstandings and frustration for both them and their listeners. This may reduce their confidence to speak up or participate, affecting academics and social life. As speech demands increase, through complex vocabulary, faster conversations, and public speaking, these challenges become more obvious. Addressing speech clarity during the teen years boosts self-esteem, and social engagement.

“The way we communicate with others determines the quality of our lives.”
