ACCENT MODIFICATION
Accent Modification Therapy teaches individuals to learn how to switch between their native accent and “American” accent in self-decided environments. Adults in fast-paced environments may have difficulty efficiently communicating if surrounding peers or coworkers find it difficult to understand their voice/tone and speech production based on first language influence. This can lead to frustrations for the speaker and listeners at work or in the community. Sessions are led by Speech Language Pathologists trained in Accent Modification.
Accent Modification will work on:
-
Teaching speech sound production for English sounds the clients find difficult to pronounce.
-
Rhythm and intonation of voice to have an American accent.
-
Facial expressions and body language match the American approach.
