Speech is so much more than just making sounds or saying words—it’s about truly understanding and connecting with what we say!

At EZSpeech, we know that real communication means grasping the meaning behind language. That’s why our app includes a special section dedicated to developing comprehension skills, not just speech production.

One example is our Find Connection exercise, where children practice understanding relationships between words and concepts. With various levels of difficulty, these activities help kids build deeper language skills and make real-world connections.

Because at EZSpeech, we believe that speech therapy should empower children to express themselves and understand the world around them.

🌟 Did you know? Besides helping with sound automation, EZSpeech offers a comprehensive Speech Development section designed specifically to support non-verbal kids in launching their speech!

With over 300 exercises ranging from stimulating single words to practicing full sentences and texts, our app also helps expand vocabulary with fun activities on opposites, prepositions, colors, shapes, and cognitive skills.

🎉 Let’s start with an exercise to launch speech: your child repeats one word, and the app instantly checks their pronunciation.

🐾 This demo focuses on Animals, and we also have a similar exercise with Transport themes to keep learning engaging and diverse.

Give your child the tools to find their voice—one word at a time!

Hey everyone! 👋

Today, I want to dive into the fascinating world of speech sounds and the different modules involved in sound production. Whether you’re a language enthusiast, a singer, or just curious about how we produce the sounds of speech, this post is for you!

1. Labio-Dental Sounds
Labio-dental sounds are made using the lips and teeth. A common example is the sound /f/ as in "fish" and /v/ as in "voice." Notice how your bottom lip lightly touches your upper teeth to create these sounds.

2. Alveolar Sounds
These sounds are produced with the tongue against the alveolar ridge, which is just behind your upper front teeth. Examples include /t/ as in "time," /d/ as in "dog," /s/ as in "sun," and /z/ as in "zebra."

3. Palatal Sounds
Palatal sounds are created when the body of the tongue comes close to the hard palate (the roof of your mouth). The sounds /ʃ/ as in "shoe," /ʒ/ as in "measure," and /j/ as in "yes" are some examples.

4. Velar Sounds
These are articulated with the back of the tongue against the velum (the soft part of the roof of the mouth towards the back). Examples include /k/ as in "kite," /g/ as in "go," and /ŋ/ as in "song."

5. Glottal Sounds
Produced using the glottis, which is the space between the vocal cords. The sound /h/ as in "hat" and the glottal stop (the catch in your throat in the middle of "uh-oh") are examples.

6. Dental Sounds
Dental sounds involve the tongue against the teeth. Sounds like /θ/ as in "think" and /ð/ as in "this" fall into this category.

Understanding these modules helps us appreciate the complexity and beauty of human speech. Each sound is like a musical note, contributing to the symphony of languages we speak every day! 🎤✨

Interhemispheric connections are essential for language processing and communication. Fine motor activities that involve speech and language components, such as oral motor exercises or interactive communication games, can further strengthen these connections by linking motor planning and ex*****on with linguistic processing.

Many fine motor activities involve using both hands simultaneously or coordinating movements between the hands and other parts of the body. This bilateral coordination requires communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, helping to strengthen interhemispheric connections.

Oral-motor exercises, particularly those involving the tongue, are crucial in speech therapy for several reasons:
1. Articulation: The tongue is a primary articulator in speech production, responsible for forming various sounds by making contact with different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, alveolar ridge, and palate. Strengthening and coordinating the muscles of the tongue through oral-motor exercises can improve articulation accuracy and speech clarity.

2. Muscle Tone: Some individuals may have weak or hypotonic tongue muscles, which can affect their ability to produce certain speech sounds accurately. Oral-motor exercises help improve muscle tone and strength in the tongue, leading to better control and coordination during speech production.

3. Range of Motion: Adequate tongue movement is essential for producing a wide range of speech sounds. Oral-motor exercises that focus on increasing tongue mobility and flexibility can help individuals achieve the necessary range of motion for articulating sounds correctly.

4. Tongue Placement: Correct tongue placement is crucial for producing specific speech sounds, especially those involving the tip, blade, or back of the tongue. Targeted oral-motor exercises can help individuals learn and reinforce proper tongue placement techniques, facilitating clearer and more accurate speech production.

5. Swallowing and Feeding Skills: The tongue plays a vital role in swallowing and feeding functions. Oral-motor exercises designed to strengthen the tongue muscles can improve swallowing coordination and efficiency, as well as enhance chewing and food manipulation skills.

6. Sensory Awareness: Oral-motor exercises also help individuals develop greater sensory awareness and proprioception within the oral cavity. By engaging in various tongue movements and exercises, individuals become more attuned to the sensations and positions of their tongue muscles, which can contribute to improved speech production and swallowing abilities.

7.Speech Disorders: Oral-motor exercises are particularly beneficial for individuals with certain speech disorders, such as dysarthria, apraxia of speech, or tongue thrust. These exercises can target specific muscle weaknesses or coordination difficulties associated with these disorders, helping to improve overall speech intelligibility and function.

Overall, incorporating oral-motor exercises, including those focusing on the tongue, into speech therapy programs can significantly enhance speech production, swallowing function, and overall oral motor skills in individuals with speech and language difficulties. These exercises provide targeted intervention to address specific areas of need, leading to improved communication and quality of life.
