Orem, UT (December 22, 2014) — Parents and their children with communication difficulties have traditionally spent many frustrating months, or even years with a speech therapist in order to solve speech problems, such as poor articulation. Now parents and therapists alike are expressing joy because of the rapid success many children obtain when using a software program from Complete Speech, called The SmartPalate.
Speech therapists in many parts of the country have experienced growing caseloads of children with communication difficulties that are harder to resolve with traditional therapy. The typical treatment has been for children to participate in group and sometimes individual sessions using flash cards, or similar tools, to drill sounds. Success has always been slow, and parents have been warned not to expect success for at least three years or more.
The development of The SmartPalate by CompleteSpeech has changed the time needed for success from years to potentially just months or weeks.
“I was almost in tears during a session with a boy who has horrific speech. He produced a perfect, beautiful ‘R’ sound on the third session! I about fell out of my chair. I am just super excited about this thing,” exclaimed Colleen Mitchell, a speech language pathologist certified by ASHA.
“Cade’s Story,” a touching video on the CompleteSpeech website, tells of the frustration of a young boy who was literally afraid for anyone to hear him speak. He and his mother talk candidly of the problem he faced and the joy they felt when he quickly and easily was able to correct his articulation problem that had plagued him for years.

“I’m taking these kids that no one else has been successful with, and we’re having success,” explained Holly Stankosky, another ASHA certified speech language pathologist.
“The SmartPalate is used by therapists and their clients to eliminate guess work, create a more engaging atmosphere for learning, and give visual feedback of their tongue to palate contact. Our innovative technology enables children or adults to consistently practice sounds accurately without guessing at therapy sessions and at home between sessions with our Student Membership. Problems can be solved quickly, which empowers students and parents with confidence and hope for a better future,” said Joshua Larsen, vice president of sales and marketing.
