Apraxia and Articulation Therapy in Beavercreek, OH
Street Simple Therapy is dedicated to providing individualized and effective speech-language services to children and families dealing with communication challenges. We have apraxia of speech treatments and articulation therapy services that are designed to facilitate your child’s progress while incorporating fun and meaningful activities.
Understanding Apraxia of Speech
Childhood apraxia of speech is a motor planning disorder that affects how a child coordinates the movements needed for speech. Children with apraxia know what they want to say, but their brain has trouble directing the muscles that produce speech. This leads to inconsistent sound errors, difficulty imitating speech, and challenges in forming words and phrases clearly.
Our team at Street Simple Therapy understands the unique needs of children with apraxia and offers targeted apraxia therapy for toddlers and young children to build their ability to communicate confidently and effectively.
Individualized Apraxia of Speech Treatment
Every child’s journey is different. That’s why our apraxia of speech treatment plans are fully individualized. Through repetition-based practice, motor-speech exercises, and multimodal cues, we help children learn to form sounds, syllables, and words with greater accuracy.
Sessions are structured but engaging, with a strong focus on boosting speech clarity, confidence, and the connection between motor planning and verbal output. We also work closely with families to carry strategies into daily routines, making therapy both effective and practical.
Articulation Disorder Therapy Tailored to Your Child
Not all speech-related issues come from apraxia. Many children experience typical articulation delays that affect the clarity of their speech sounds, often due to substituting, omitting, or distorting certain speech sounds. In addition to our other speech and language services, we offer expert articulation disorder therapy. Through structured, evidence-based strategies, we help children produce their sounds correctly.
Our approach to articulation therapy involves sound placement training, modeling, repetition, and auditory feedback. Working on these early allows for more clarity in children’s speech in their social, academic, or home environments, and reduces frustration when they try to communicate.

FAQs
Apraxia of speech is a motor planning problem in which the brain has trouble synthesizing messages to the muscles needed for speech, while an articulation disorder refers to the difficulty of physically producing individual sounds, like “r” or “s,” but the motor plan is intact.
Generally, apraxia therapy can start as early as two years old, and is dependent upon the child’s needs and level of development. Early intervention is very important, and early experiences can help provide the child with a base for clearer and more confident speech as they grow.
Every child is different and therefore will have their own timeline, but usually, with consistent sessions and home practice, a child will show some improved depth of sounds and speech clarity within months. The therapists at Street Simple Therapy formulate an individualized plan for each child to make sure they are progressing consistently, based on their own particular challenges.
