The ARTA Method of Accent Reduction

ARTA’s training in  Accent Reduction 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 speech behavior is more than just the accent; it also involves years of unlocking the barriers and avoidances caused by having an accent.
