If there is a suspected defect in the articulatory apparatus, it is better to have it repaired by a specialist and then corrected by a speech therapist. The amount of time needed for prosodic remediation depends on the severity of the prosodic defect, the number of speech errors, and the child’s motivation to learn and practice enough. In general, functional dysarthria without a defect in the articulatory apparatus can almost always be corrected to full accuracy after speech therapy. Finally, it should be emphasized that parental attitudes play a very important role in the development of the child’s articulation, so be sure to look at your child when he or she is talking to you, show that you are interested in what he or she is saying, and let him or her feel that he or she has plenty of time to speak clearly. In addition, parental language is the best model for children to learn from. Good sound quality and clear, unhurried articulation are ideal for children to imitate, and parents should avoid speaking to their children in a teething manner. Finally, if parents can establish a relaxing and pleasant home environment, it will help children develop their language and phonological skills in a pleasant and smooth manner.
