Charts & Checklists EVERY SLP needs to use for Articulation & Phonology
“Wait a minute, I’ll just look that up and tell yooooou… sorry, I just need to find where I put it. Umm, okay, let me Google it! Alright, ‘Final consonant…
Tag an SLP who screams this loud EVERY TIME they play a pop up or jump game.
Fun fact: my colleagues literally hear me through the walls 😂

Who said you have to work on “r” in initial position FIRST?
By choosing where the child can say a clearer, more accurate “r”, we were able to start therapy successfully and accurately (and those other “r” positions are correcting on their own!!).
Have you ever had more success in “r” clusters?

We usually tell parents of LATE TALKERS to pause, but I encourage parents of children with speech sound delays to pause too!!!
Yes, this child still needed a zebra cue, but often we have to build these steps to foster self-awareness so our kids can fix their speech.

Shoutout to this mum who was better than me at demonstrating many of these 😂 I can’t tell you how LESS SCARY an oral motor exam is when everyone gets involved.
I’m using our @bjoremspeech Oral Motor Assessment cards.

We love this punching 🥊 gesture to highlight how the air has to quickly explode out of our mouths for the “ch” sound!!!
How do you teach “ch” - what do you call it??

Want some MOTIVATION? Get a dinosaur who ONLY eats “back /k/“ sounds!!! Your preschoolers will be more engaged to fix and clarify whether they meant “tape” or “cape” if they can see the dinosaur eat the card 🦖

It’s REALLY time to decide if you’re joining 167 of your SLP colleagues to learn about which phonological intervention you should choose!
I’m pumped to change the course of your career, all while instilling passion and confidence treating phonological impairments 🤗
On Thursday, June 12th, we’ll be in Adelaide, SA. For those who missed out on Melbourne, this will be your chance 👏🏼

Is there anyone who follows my account who I’ll be seeing next month?? June will be busy (hoping I won’t lose my voice!!)
Let me know which event you’re coming to, and please tag an SLP who might want to meet and or learn from me 🤗

I always have Speech Sound Mouth Cues on my therapy table 👏🏼 The really helped a child who has difficulty saying “ch”, more clearly.

Which is your fave?
Have you seen all the cues we have in our Minimal Pairs Toolkit? We use these child-friendly visuals to help explain phonological patterns like:
👉🏼 tail sounds
👉🏼 front and back sounds
👉🏼 long and short sounds
👉🏼 snake in the cage sounds
With over 1000 ratings, you’ll love feeling prepared for any pattern that walks in your door!

We sell 3 posters in our AISP shop, and they look beautiful and are helpful to have on the wall in your speech therapy room!

As much as possible, I try NOT TO MODEL THE WORD during an assessment so that the child isn’t directly imitating me (which can influence my results).
Are there are other tips you recommend?

Hey, hi, g’day!! I’m Rebecca and I’ve been a speech pathologist for 17 years.
I was thinking recently about “career statements” and what makes me passionate about this job. And put really simply:
I love to work with preschool-aged children to help them be 100% clear and intelligible by the time they start formal schooling.
Do you have a “why” 👇🏼
#speechdelay #speechdevelopment #speechpathologist #adventuresinspeechpathology
I’d love to know if there are other differing or similar opinions?
Start the conversation 👇🏼

Prove me wrong!!! Because (unless you read it in our Ch & J Handbook), I bet you have never tried this before to elicit the “ch” sound!!!
Also - tag an SLP who needs to know this 👏🏼

SWIPE THESE PICS - and read what your SLP colleagues said about our full-day, face-to-face professional development, “Which Phonological Intervention Should I Choose?”
So to all those Aussie SLPs who want things to “click” in the area of SSDs, we’d love to empower you to feel more confident!!!!

The three things I’m always considering are:
1. Has the child made EVEN MORE progress with their speech, even though they’ve had a break?
2. Has the child lost some of their accuracy from when I last saw them (this is okay - it just means we might have to do more home practice during breaks)
3. With my new information and fresh ears and eyes, should I continue with the same goals and therapy approaches, or do we need to change things up?
Honestly, I think every SLP should consider re-assessing their students after a school term/block of therapy to evaluate goals and intervention 👏🏼 what are your thoughts?
#privatepracticeslp #schoolslp #preschoolslp #speechpath #adventuresinspeechpathology
Get everyone on the same page with these parent and teacher-friendly descriptions on common phonological patterns 👏🏼
You’ll love the examples, age of elimination, and pictures that help others make sense of their child’s speech.

It’s about time that non-rhotic “r” speaking countries had some “r” materials that work with OUR accents 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We’re looking to expand our best-selling Facilitative Contexts packets with a non-rhotic “r” version! Comment “list” so I can send a DM on how to apply.
Connecting and collaborating with SLPs around the world is so important to us (especially as I have studied and worked in 4 countries myself!!!).

The easy peasy way to teach Cluster Reduction for R & L Blends
It really breaks my heart when I see an older student so aware of their speech difficulties, when they try so hard but the current therapy approach or activities just…
Making Minimal Pairs Therapy Fun: S-Blends
When your caseload consists of a lot of excitable 4 year old boys who groan at the sight of minimal pair cards you don’t really have a lot of choices. Sure,…
Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I encourage SLPs to feel more confident treating speech sound disorders, and make faster progress with their students.
