Did you know that these are the two most FREQUENTL Did you know that these are the two most FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I get asked about minimal pairs?

So if you’ve thought these, you’re not alone!

Answer to the first question: well, there are options!!!! Which is great, right?! Options mean that you can individualize therapy for your child. I usually choose about 5, but have gone higher and less as well!

Answer to the second question: the minimal pairs stay the same! So I pick my treatment set carefully. The only reason why I might change my set is if the child isn’t generalizing and that system-wide change isn’t occurring (then I’ll add more to the treatment set).

For those who have read these pages in the Minimal Pairs Handbook, I’d love to know if the information makes sense 👇🏻

One of the questions I get asked is: what activiti One of the questions I get asked is: what activities do you use for minimal pairs?

A: the same that I use for all my other kids! The only difference is my TEACHING and FEEDBACK!!

I generally pick 3-5 simple SIMPLE activities or reinforcer style games and just aim to keep my kids motivated and engaged enough to get a lot of practice in.

So please don’t think that you have to sit at a table and have kids point to cards. That’s an example, that’s not how you do it every session 🙅🏻‍♀️

For those who have looked through the activity ideas in the Minimal Pairs Handbook, I would love to know what you think of this section about activity ideas 👇🏻

This is why the minimal pairs approach is a GREAT This is why the minimal pairs approach is a GREAT option ☝🏼.

Because even if your child ISN’T stimulable for the sound, you can still follow the principles of minimal pairs therapy!

The Minimal Pairs Handbook will be breaking down the differences between these two options, and helping you problem solve everything else 👏

Can’t wait for its release this week!!

Children need to make words SOUND DIFFERENT becaus Children need to make words SOUND DIFFERENT because they have different meanings!!

At the start of minimal pairs intervention I usually find myself using those sentences, such as:

“Green means..... (go)”
“We play with.... (dough)”

The reason WHY I do this is because if the child answers that green means DOUGH, well I’m going to act totally confused and confront my little one with the communication breakdown, because I’ve added some context and meaning to it.

I do fade this out pretty quickly. And FYI - I don’t think you’ll find this in a journal article, it’s just something that MY clinical practice and experience has lead me to do!

Ask me a question 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you have one!

(and only a few more days til the Minimal Pairs Handbook is released 🤗)
