Our Multi-Modal Approach

Lingo-Ease uses a systematic, multi-modal approach which maximizes learning through a combination of techniques including:

articulation training: to improve speech sound production through precise positioning and movement of oral motor structures

kinesthetic training: to improve speech sound production through heightened physical awareness of speech movements

linguistic training: to improve pronunciation through enhanced knowledge of English phonetics and its interaction with English grammar and words

vocal training: to improve vocal clarity and quality through regulated breathing, voicing, pitch, rhythm, intonation, resonance, and speech volume

discourse training: to improve communication ability at the conversational level through examination of cultural patterns and speaker-listener roles in various interactional contexts

auditory training: to improve listening and comprehension skills through auditory discrimination exercises and awareness of auditory cues

visual "speechreading" training: to improve listening comprehension through the effective use of visual cues such as mouth/tongue gestures, facial expression, and body language
