Do you have a little Stevie Wonder on your hands? Lady Gaga? Do you hear singing at all hours of the day? If so, you know that singing and songs are a significant part of your child\u2019s life. In fact, many children sing more than they talk! Through singing and song, children can actually achieve improved articulation skills, just from belting it out. Even simple children’s nursery rhymes\u00a0can help develop pronunciation and articulation skills. For children who need any type of speech and language therapy,\u00a0music is\u00a0essential. It is motivating, familiar, rhythmic, stimulates a variety of senses and most of all – FUN!

Music as Speech Therapy<\/h2>\n

Music as speech therapy is often used in early intervention of a speech impediment <\/a>or disorder. “The Wheels on the Bus,” “Row Row Row your Boat” or “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” are staples of an SLP\u2019s repertoire. While research has proven that\u00a0music is\u00a0an effective speech therapy tool in the later years among people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, music\u00a0is also essential to our\u00a0younger generation\u2019s growth and development. \u00a0What songs can you play at home to help encourage proper speech for your children? \u00a0Here are a few of our favorites!<\/p>\n
