Assistive Technology to Help Students with Articulation Disorder Succeed Academically

Some students encounter extraordinary challenges when it comes to forming the sounds of everyday communication. This may be due to a structural problem with the mouth or a motor-based issue. Collectively, these difficulties are considered to be articulation disorders. They can make classroom education extremely hard for both teachers and students. However, there are some ways that teachers can help students with articulation disorders still succeed academically.

If you want to help your student with articulation disorder succeed, you will need some of the best assistive technology available. You can see the recommendations for the top assistive technologies used with this disorder below.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices

Not all students can communicate using their words. Teachers can still get the point across and communicate easily with their students using augmentative and alternative communication devices. These can take several different forms. Some will be books filled with pictures that students can point at while others may be digital. The proper AAC depends on the age and fluency of the student. Consider whether your student with an articulation disorder could benefit from a picture book or from digitized speech.

Speech Apps

Most children are highly motivated by playing games, and those with an articulation disorder are no different. One of the best ways to use assistive technology to help with these conditions is to use speech apps. Speech Wizard, one of the most popular options, helps students to practice their sounds, sentences, and phrases. Teachers will love this app because it has a data tracking option that provides them with real research and information on how their student is doing. Be sure to look for speech apps that are designed by licensed speech-language pathologists.

Text-to-Speech Software

When students are meant to give a presentation to their class, it can be hard and be embarrassing for a child with an articulation disorder. Teachers can utilize the right technology to make this a possibility without forcing a student into an uncomfortable position. Similar to an AAC, the child could use a text-to-speech app or software on the computer. This allows them to type out what they want to say and allows the computer to read it to the class instead. Now, your students with an articulation disorder can still present their amazing findings to the class but without the shame and embarrassment.

Students with articulation disorder do have a more difficult time communicating with their teachers and classmates. However, this can easily be remedied using some of the best assistive technology available. With a few of these tools, students will have everything they need to succeed in the classroom this year.
