Did you know that there are “2-element” cluste

Did you know that there are “2-element” clusters that can be considered more complex.

My fave to treat are: sl, fl, fr, thr, and shr!

Last term I used “sl” and “fl” with some late 3 and early 4 year olds and I saw so much growth and change to their overall speech sound system 👏

One of my MOST USED tools to teach ‘s’ cluster

One of my MOST USED tools to teach ‘s’ clusters when a child just can’t imitate me 💪🏻

Some of my kids are just better visual learners, and they need to SEE how a complex cluster is broken down to build it back up again.

Last term, one of clients had to really focus on their ‘l’ words first before they could sequence the ‘sl’ together.

Hope this gives you another tool to work with 👏👏👏

I always go in with a “best case scenario plan” when deciding on a therapy approach for my kids.

But sometimes the child just doesn’t match the approach that I have chosen, and that’s okay too.

Usually, we “trial” an approach for 4 sessions before I just give up and do something else.

e.g., one child really struggled with multiple oppositions and the number of contrasts, so we changed to minimal pairs using a complex contrast and their progress and participation significantly improved!

Sharing a little tip today! Hiding a cue and flip

Sharing a little tip today!

Hiding a cue and flipping it around to help the child understand WHEN to use the sound can be really helpful.

Sometimes our kids overgeneralise a sound that they learn…. So it will be “sh-push”. It’s like they KNOW they have to use that sound, but are still learning where in the word.

But HOW do you incorporate phonological awareness

But HOW do you incorporate phonological awareness activities in your speech therapy session?

Like this 👏 start small, start simple.

Two tasks I LOVE:
1. Break a word into syllables
2. Tell me the sound at the start of the word

Using food is a great way to do this, as food items have lots of 2-4 syllable words!

This was the end of our session, so we had done a LOT practice already and just needed some fun to end it all off.

This is how we started the first 7 minutes of our therapy session. Look at all the work we achieved 👏

BTW we colour code this so green is correct and red is incorrect.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Yes, Adventures in Speech Path

IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

Yes, Adventures in Speech Pathology is my “business”… but my drive for creating resources is for my CLIENTS first❤️

It’s why I’ve told myself, that even though I could easily give up my clinical work and focus on the resource creation side… I LOVE MY KIDS TOO MUCH!

I love being in the trenches with SLPs 💪🏻
I love pushing myself to be better and learn more.

And I really love when I have the inspiration to make that one thing to help that one child on my caseload ❤️❤️❤️

Who would you use the minimal pairs approach with?

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.
