Sažetak
Speech therapy probes are mechanical instruments in speech therapy that perform mechanical action on
speech organs. They are applied as an instrument that facilitates the correction of voice pronunciation in
treatment and during speech therapy diagnostics. The purpose of speech therapy probes is twofold. Each
probe is intended to correct the pronunciation of one or more specific voices. The probes are applied
according to specific and strict instructions. Also, each probe can be used in the process of assessing
the mobility of speech organs, passive articulation gymnastics, and for logopedic massage of the orobucco-lingual musculature. By applying the probe to a certain place in the speech organ, we achieve
the necessary position or movement that the person or child is not able to perform independently.
The mechanical action on the oral region enables the activation of proprioceptive stimulus, which
will make it easier for the client to activate the target region and produce the target movement. By
applying the probe, we form the correct position of the speech organs for a certain voice painlessly,
simply, and in a short time. Before corrective therapy of voice pronunciation, it is necessary to conduct
a detailed examination of the structure of speech organs and mobility of the articulatory organs, as well
as an examination of phonological and perceptual abilities. In cases of severe pronunciation disorders,
it is necessary to massage the articulatory organs (logopedic massage), and then work on the correct
pronunciation of voices with mechanical assistance. Speech therapy probes are a necessary instrument in
speech therapy, and their use cannot be left out in articulation therapy.
