How It Works
Accent reduction is a streamlined process divided into several steps. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1 – Assessment

No two accents are completely alike, so the first step to accent reduction is an in-depth assessment of an individual’s speech and language profile, specific needs, struggles, and goals.

Step 2 -Individualization

Next, the results of the assessment are used to develop a personalized set of speech objectives and accent modification goals, as well as a detailed strategy to achieve these goals.

Step 3 – Training

Our online accent reduction program prioritizes auditory discrimination and articulation of standard North American consonant and vowels sounds, as well as word-stress and intonation patterns typical of North America. The ultimate goal of the training is to achieve clear and effective communication skills.
