What’s really going on when speech sound therapy isn’t helping — and why expertise matters

What’s really going on when speech sound therapy isn’t helping — and why expertise matters.

You’ve practised words at home, followed school advice, maybe even tried online tips — but your child’s speech still isn’t improving. It’s frustrating and worrying.

Here's the kicker: Not all speech difficulties are the same. Some children may be struggling because of how their brains plan and coordinate speech movements, not because they haven’t practised enough. This is known as a motor planning difficulty, and it requires specific therapy approaches that focus on motor learning rather than just repetition.

That’s why your child must be supported by a qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapist who understands how to assess and treat different types of speech sound disorders. With the right approach, real change can happen — even after slow progress elsewhere.
