Top Therapy Materials for Speech Pathologists

Simplifying “speech terms” into uncomplicated explanations is what we do best! When parents and teachers know about a child’s speech patterns, it can help them better understand 👏🏼

And yes, we have these handouts for most patterns you’ll see!

What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

Parents can forget, or might not be able to attend your speech therapy session.

My top tip is to record you explaining what you say! It makes sure everyone is on the same page 👏🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

I was never taught how to play, motivate, and engage children in high practice speech trials.

And for a long time, I didn’t even know HOW MANY speech trials to aim for!!

Thrilled to present on the @bjoremspeech cruise in an area I’m so passionate about, because I love seeing my kids progress in therapy, and speak clearly quicker!

Turning 40 was a big mental shift for me, and I decided to really start actioning things I’ve always wanted to do… like deep sea fishing 🎣

Even though I was manifesting a sailfish, this hammerhead shark was a big battle, what a mighty fish!

Answering case questions is an UNPAID part time job I’ve been doing for years… but I just don’t have the capacity and time to answer every question that comes my way (unless I put up an “ask me a question box”).

So make your join this group, or save this post so you can come back and know a place you can go to answer questions.

I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

We think SO MUCH about the tongue when it comes to producing a clear /s/… but don’t forget the lips!!! 👄

Next time you see your /s/ student, look to see if they’re elevating the corners of their lips into a “tiny smile.” It really does change the quality of the /s/.

Tag an SLP who has an /s/ client on their caseload and needs to see this cue 👏🏼

Tag an SLP or students who needs to hear, yes, it’s hard!!
Here are some top tips for performing an oral motor assessment:

1. Ask permission to video the assessment so you can go back and watch the child - this puts less pressure on you that you’ve “missed something”

2. Audio record the assessment/ audio record your observations and then go back AFTER to fill out your record form

3. Make it fun to keep the child engaged (this can give you extra time to record your observations). I do this by making the assessment a “game” using the @bjoremspeech Oral Motor Assessment cards I authored. Other options: use a puppet

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with how much there is to be across in our field?

Would you ever focus one one area within our field?

I personally LOVE bridging the gap between research and clinical practice to support SLPs around the world better understand and treat speech sound disorders!

If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.
