Articulation training is like learning an instrument or a sport. It depends on your practice habits, your starting point, your strengths and weaknesses, and your end goal. Many clients hear noticeable improvement within 6–8 sessions, while others keep refining for next-level precision over several months.
For example, cleaning up a single sound like a lisping "S" with daily practice may take fewer sessions than reshaping fast, mumbled speech across all your sounds. Your speech therapist will assess your goals and skills in the first session and recommend a plan that fits.

You’ll start with a 1 hour assessment, where your speech therapist willÎ
1. Dive deep into your communication goal
2. Assess how you currently produce speech sounds
3. Identify the specific sounds and habits to target, creating an actionable roadmap for your training

You’ll then book training sessions based on your speech therapist’s recommendations.

Check your health insurance plan or ask your provider to determine if speech therapy is covered under your plan.

What are the rates for the assessment and training sessions moving forward? The standard 1-hour assessment is $260. Training sessions start at $85/half hour. Your speech therapist will provide you with more details and recommendations after your assessment.

Remember to check your insurance plan and professional training/learning benefits at work to see if you’re covered for speech therapy/communication coaching.
