The SLP that you see on Instagram is NOT the mum that I am.

I wish I was smiling, positive, and enthusiastic all the time… but I feel like I’m a tired, worn-out, cranky person more often than not.

What does bring me into balance: hugs from my little one, being out in nature with my big one, and dancing to Katy Perry 🤣

I call them “tricks”.

But really, they are different types of cues. And I’m a firm believer that the MORE cues you know, the more “tricks” you have up your sleeve when your usual cues DON’T WORK!

Back to this sheet… we’ve used pictures to break down a complex word (an ‘s’ cluster), and backward chaining (with coarticulation principles) to say these ‘st’ clusters.

This can be really helpful for those student who just find it really HARD to say consonant clusters.

LEARN MORE ABOUT CUES: and take my 60 course “I have a cue for that: learn the 11 types of production cues for speech therapy”, as part of the SSD Series.

Love love love these Articulation Squares, especia

Love love love these Articulation Squares, especially this “mixed” page!

As quickly as possible I start working on a target sound in ALL positions at ALL levels.

I don’t wait til they get 80% accuracy in one position at one level 🙅🏻‍♀️ but gradually make tasks more complex where the child is still achieving accuracy.

Is this your style too??

I found this at my local Kmart, and his mouth is big, has a great “snap”, which is perfect for eating speech cards and mini objects 🐊

I’m very passionate about this one.

I recently recorded a presentation on tips for supporting home practice (register now, it’s part of the SSD Series).

And by reading the literature, it really made me reflect on HOW I involve parents and caregivers in my sessions.

And of course, homework is part of that role, and I truly feel inspired to give more than a homework sheet and expect my job to be done.

How do you feel about this?

Love this mouth!!!

I love that it has worked well to cue when I wear a mask.

I love the hinges on the back so that I can show an overbite and overjet.

I love that it comes with a little tongue that I can move too!

FYI: I got this one from orofacialmyology.com - it’s in their products and is called a “Myo Demo Model” or check out @oral_habits

Do you use one??

This was a quick whip-up the day before I started work, but I’m TRYING to communicate better with families!

I will ask parents to read this during our initial appointment so they know the expectations of the session.

I’m totally guilty of building that rapport with the child first that I don’t think I always communicate my “plan” with families, so 🤞🏻 this helps.

Lastly…. I love Bitmojis! Does anyone use them???

I’m always a “green” girl at heart, but I did make another colour option for the speech development charts based off the McLeod & Crowe (2018) speech sound acquisition chart!

Do you like the original green or this one better?

Yesterday I spoke all about getting more production trials in your speech therapy session.

And FYI: Clickers or counters are a great way to check that YOU are getting some good sets of practice in 🙌🏻

You’ll find lots of different types online, so happy searching your fave place to get speech things!
