How to Correct Utterances of Hard-of-Hearing Students? – Articulation Difficulties and Orthophonic Exercises

Abstract

The article discusses articulation problems of hard-of-hearing school-age children that significantly diminish the intelligibility of their utterances, and are nevertheless not subjected to direct speech-therapy measures, and sometimes even resulting from improper corrective procedures. The study is a proposal for increasing the level of intelligibility of utterances through the consistent and long-term use of orthophonic exercises aimed to improve specific deficits that limit the possibilities of communication.
