ARTA Method
Accent Reduction training at ARTA is a multidimensional method that
demands a multidimensional treatment approach. At its core, accent
reduction is a coordination of speech motor control. But the
coordination of accent reduction
is more than just the accent; it also involves years of
dealing with the barriers and avoidances caused by having an accent. ARTA targets both improved speech production and accent reduction
management.

-

Foster a proactive attitude toward improving speech production
-
