Articulation Therapy Program Design for Fourth Grade Children with Cerebral Palsy at SLB YPAC (Foundation for Disabled Children) Makassar

Abstract

Communication barriers in children with Cerebral Palsy affect their language development. This is evident from the difficulty children have in pronouncing certain consonants, making it hard for others to understand their speech. An approach tailored to the needs of each child is crucial. Articulation therapy plays a role in helping children improve their speaking 
abilities by training the muscles involved in sound production. This therapy must be specifically designed to meet the needs of each child. A comprehensive approach and support from family and the environment are essential for the therapy's success
