Speech therapy techniques Hi. I recently started speech therapy again (i went to like 4 therapists when i was a child, now i’m in my 20s). And this therapist’s techniques are a bit different. I tried to look them up on google and chatgpt but i don’t know the name of these techniques and i can’t find anything about them. So, diaphragmatic breathing, slowing down and elongation of the words while speaking are pretty known techniques and we practice them during the sessions and she encourages me to use them in my normal speech. But what i don’t really get is our “reading exercises”. In these exercises, i repeat the first sound of each word. Add sounds like AH, EH, A before each word. And even using the three sounds before each word. Adding the second or last sound of the word at the beginning. Adding sounds like Sa, Se, So before each word. And many other letters like G, T, K, etc… like Ga, Go, Ge. And so on. I really don’t understand why we’re doing this cause none of the therapists i went to before did that. And if i’m not gonna actually use these during my normal speech so why am i practicing them with reading only. And i don’t really wanna ask her as she’s one of the oldest speech therapist in my country and i don’t want her to think that I’m questioning her treatment. So if anyone know more about those techniques or their names so i can read more about them, i’ll really appreciate it.
