Minimal Pair Therapy

Minimal Pair Therapy is a speech therapy approach that helps individuals improve specific sounds by practicing words that differ by only one sound. For example, a therapist might work with words like "cat" and "bat" to help distinguish and produce the "c" and "b" sounds correctly. This method emphasizes listening and practicing the subtle differences between similar sounds to enhance clarity and accuracy in speech. It's effective for addressing pronunciation errors and speech sound disorders by focusing on contrasts that highlight the target sound, making learning more precise and practical.
