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!

WHY???!!!!

Why see your kids each day and not make progress?

Honestly, when I committed to high practice sessions, the growth spoke for itself ☺️

Join me tomorrow for the Speech Sound Disorder Series to help make you more accountable for getting more trials in your therapy session 🙌🏻

Hello, I’m Rebecca! I’m an Australian SLP who

Hello, I’m Rebecca!

I’m an Australian SLP who studied a year in the UK, worked in Samoa, and the US as a school-based SLP.

But all that just showed me that my true passion is working with children who have speech sound disorders.

So here are some truths:
1️⃣ The areas that I feel LEAST confident is AAC and Early Intervention.
2️⃣ I entered my degree convinced I’d be a medSLP.
3️⃣ I still can’t roll or trill my /r/ correctly.
4️⃣ Have given up hope that I’ll learn vowel symbols
5️⃣ Creating therapy materials is actually very relaxing and hobby-like for me.
6️⃣ I feel inarticulate when doing podcasts

Anyway, I’m always on here trying to show some normal SLP life. I don’t know it all, I don’t have it all, and I wear my dressing gown way too much vs. real life clothes 🤣

Who’s at least with me on dressing gown?

I’LL TELL YOU WHY 👊🏻

Because I don’t want my students to memorise ONE phrase or ONE sentence like you see on other cards.

Many kids can make up their own sentences without our help. It’s a more complex task, but that’s the point, right?!

I want my kids to THINK on their own while using their target sound, because that’s what a conversation is!!

So, THAT’S WHY I don’t have phrases and sentences on my articulation cards 🙌🏻

There are a lot of different interventions for children with speech sound disorders. Yep, we can be spoilt for choice! So, when a child presents…

Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I encourage SLPs to feel more confident treating speech sound disorders, and make faster progress with their students.
