Mysticons Sharise’s Articulation Disorder Episode

It is a rainy day in the stronghold, and while the Mysticons are doing some cleaning, Arkayna finds a secret room in the stronghold. She shows the others, and when they enter it, they see that it's full of books. Em grabs one from the shelves, and realize that it's a spellbook. Zarya takes a closer look, and remarks that the spells are just like the revenge spell she found in the codex, which uses words not normally found in common. Arkayna suggests to leave it until they learn more about the room, as the spells inside could be dangerous.

Later that day, Sharise hears someone in the secret room. She goes to investigate, and sees Piper casting spells from the spellbook. Piper invites Sharise to try, and Sharise hesitates. She acts like she's unintersted, but when she sees how dissapointed Piper is that they won't be practicing the spell together, agrees to join. Piper suggests the spell she was doing, which is a colour changing one. Sharise attempts the spell, and struggles with a "j" sound, misprouncing it as "ch". A portal appears, and a dragon-like creature comes out. The sound attracts the other Mysticons, Doug, and Malvaron, and a small fight ensues. The creature escapes, and the Mysticons look for it.

As the Mysticons search for the creature, Arkayna asks how it happened. Sharise reluctantly reveals what happened, and Zarya makes a joke about Sharise's articulation disorder. Sharise says that she will find the creature herself so the others can go to bed, and runs off. The others try to follow, but Sharise manages to get away. Arkayna tells Zarya that she shouldn't have been so mean to Sharise, and Zarya says that she was just joking. Em points out how while it didn't mean anything to Zarya, the words clearly had an effect on Sharise. They decide to split up to find Sharise and the creature.

Sharise hears screaming from one area, and decides to investigate. She finds the creature attacking magi-mall, and manages to lure it away. She does get the creature to a place that isn't as full of people, but the creature turns all her anger on Sharise, and begins to attack. Sharise tries to fight the creature alone, struggles. Zarya sees her, and manages to help Sharise. The creature flies back towards magi-mall, which Sharise notices.

Zarya begins to apoligize for what she said, and Sharise inturupts her, saying they should call the others. They do, and Sharise mentions how it seems focused on the mall. Piper mentions how pretty it is there, giving Sharise the idea that the creature is interested in beautiful objects. They decide to use jewels from the Royal Treasury to lure the creature into the stronghold.

On the way to the palace, Sharise reluctantly asks Zarya if she should be a Mysticon. Zarya is surprised at this, and asks why. Sharise mentions her articulation disorder, and the possibility of not being understood well during a mission or miscasting a spell again. Zarya reassures Sharise that she does belong as a Mysticon. She also apolgizes for her joke, saying that she didn't think about how it would affect her. Sharise accepts the apology.

They get the jewels from the royal treasury and go to the mall. The creature sees the jewels, and while initially reluctant, does leave when Em says there'll be more jewels. Sharise realizes that the creature was never bad, and just wanted a home, and that it attacked Sharise after she lured it away from the mall due to feeling like it was being taken away from a potential new home. Arkayna guesses that, wherever the creature lives, it is surrounded by beatiful objects.

They manage to get the creature to the stronghold, and realize that by casting the spell exactly how Sharise did it, another portal should open. They decide that Sharise should do the spell, as she would prounce it easier than the others trying to match how she speaks. Sharise is nervous about it, as her casting a spell caused the problem in the first place, but the others encourage her to try. She does, and a portal opens. The other Mysticons guide the creature inside before it closes.

Helping Your Child with Articulation Disorder

Articulation disorder in children is characterized by an inability to make specific word sounds properly after the expected age. This speech sound disorder often involves substituting one sound for another and slurred or indistinct speech.

Although speech therapy is a vital element in correcting articulation problems, here are some ways to help your child with articulation skills in various environments outside of therapy:

1. Practice Revision Daily

Revision is a technique where you repeat what your child has just said, but with the correct pronunciation. It’s also helpful to give the incorrect word sound extra emphasis. You can practice revision in almost any setting, whether during playtime, at the grocery store, or while driving.

2. Avoid Imitating Your Child’s Errors

Instead of imitating the ways your child pronounces or leaves out sounds, model correct speech. While the ways your child pronounces words can be extremely cute, avoid reinforcing incorrect articulation by laughing at or repeating them. Consider taking a video of your child’s adorable utterances to cherish once they’ve corrected them.

3. Read, Read, Read to Your Child

Reading to your child plays a vital role in their development, including their speech. Listening to you read allows them to enjoy a story while you model correct articulation, making for a speech lesson in disguise. This strategy is especially effective if you read books specifically designed for articulation skills.

4. Incorporate Modeling into Play

Like reading to your child, modeling correct speech during play is a way to sneak in a speech lesson. Whether you’re playing a board game or taking a nature walk, leisure time with your child provides entertainment and subconscious learning opportunities.

5. Narrate Daily Routines

As you and your child go about your daily routines such as getting ready for daycare or school, picking up toys, and during mealtimes, narrate the things you both are doing. This provides a larger variety of words to practice in different settings.

6. Practice Successful Words

While modeling correct pronunciation of words your child struggles with is essential, it’s also important to practice words your child has corrected successfully. This helps them solidify their corrections and reinforces a sense of accomplishment for a job well done.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you’re concerned about your child’s speech and language development, please contact Speech and Occupational Therapy of North Texas to schedule a consultation.

By incorporating these practices into your daily routines, you can support your child's progress in overcoming articulation disorder and improving their speech skills. Please call us at 972-424-0148
