Speech Therapy for ‘r’ ages 9-15

Does your child have trouble saying the ‘r’ sound?

Some speakers have trouble with the “r” sound even after months or years of therapy. Studies have shown that both traditional and computer-based therapy methods are helpful in treating speech sound errors. We are comparing these therapy methods to find out which is more effective.
