There are so many games that you can play with a double set of articulation cards!

I suggest printing them on coloured cardstock for durability (no need to laminate) so that you can play games like memory, go fish etc.

Now some SLPs colour-code these for initial-medial-final position… but I just like rainbow coloured cards!

I’m still on part-time vocal rest over here as I come down from the Speech Pathology Australia Conference in Melbourne this year.

I had some of my own pinch-me-moments meeting with SLPs who’s papers I read and assessments I use. Thanks to Katherine Sanchez, Ellie Sugden, Alison Holm, and Sharon Crosbie for taking photos with me 🤗

It was SO LOVELY meeting so many SLPs and students this week. Working as the only SLP in the building, I didn’t realise how starved I’ve been for speechie chatter 😆

Bring on ASHA in New Orleans 2022 and SPA in Hobart for 2023!

There’s a first time for everything!

(And I’m not talking about my lack of shoe wearing, though that is also a first 🫣)

I’m so excited to bring oodles of laminated materials to the Speech Pathology Australia conference in Melbourne 👏

I’ve got a booth (my first one ever) and I can’t wait to meet some SLPs in real life. Come by and say hi if you’ll be attending this year.

You know that I love a good metaphor to teach a feature or concept for speech sounds!

These are probably my favourites - I’ve tweaked a few based on YOUR requests.

❤️ Thanks for always giving me feedback and helping to evolve a material.

Or close ONE eye 😂😂😂

I take a lot of therapy videos of myself, and this seems to be my go-to face!

Don’t ask me why, but closing one (or both) eyes AND turning my head seems to really help me block everything out and really HEAR if the sound is correct!

Who’s with me???

I’m definitely a visual SLP!

I love to follow flowcharts, see diagrams, and have a good old chart to help me make sense of all things speech!

This flowchart is from the Minimal Pairs Handbook and shows what you would say if a child is correct or incorrect when using this approach.

Did you want something similar for the Cycles Handbook (should be out late July?).

Don’t forget this tip!!

When I was a younger clinician, I taught all sounds “in initial position” first.

Now that I’m more comfortable being flexible with elicitation techniques, I’ve seen that many times, using a VC syllable, especially with a carefully chosen vowel to facilitate the consonant, can really help!!

My faves: uck, ack, oosh, ees!
