Shoutout to Nada and Louisa from the @ausorofacialmyologycollab for giving Mr Adventures in Speech Pathology some post tongue-tie release functional exercises 👅
Really interested to hear more about Nada’s PhD research on tethered oral tissues tomorrow!!

Are you guilty of this? Thinking that you HAVE TO START in initial position?
Well, I sometimes forget I have options too 😉 but as a “know better, do better SLP,” I happily share these so that other people can learn from my aha moments!

My kids LOVE using these as self-reminders for what sound we’re working on 👏🏼 the elephant trunk and snake are my most used!

If only my own children had better fine motor skills ✂️ I’d be outsourcing this task to them 🤣

Try this 👉🏼 record a video and send it to your parents so that they can use the SAME WORDS you use in therapy!

Have Connect Four? Try this activity to help kids “make sense” of minimal pairs!
Minimal pair cards: @bjoremspeech

These posters would look FABULOUS on your walls 🌈
It’s a digital file that can be printed as large as this!

Shout out to the mums, dads, nans, and pops who attend speech therapy to help their children sound clearer 👏🏼
Side note: how great is my abacus set up for minimal pairs therapy?

Thank goodness for @beetheslp and my fave speech pathology jumper (or “sweater” for my North Americans), because it’s the only thing working for me today 🤣
Also - hard relate to the perimenopause/I don’t care trend, it’s all true!

Do your current mouth cues look like they’re from 2003?
WHY SHOW YOUR STUDENTS MOUTHS THAT DON’T ACTUALLY PORTRAY THE SOUND?
If you want accurate mouths to help cue and teach speech sounds, we at Adventures in Speech Pathology have the ones for you 👏🏼

Make sure you comment “mouth” and get these AMAZING mouth cue images delivered to your inbox 📥
When I have a student with a frontal or lateral lisp, I like to have all the cues available to highlight what they’re doing now vs. what they NEED to do.
Hope you love them!!

Our field uses a lot of big words! So, make it easier for teachers and parents to understand WHAT we’re talking about with the Phonological Patterns Handouts 💫

Which SLPs have an abacus??
My abacus looked like a work of art after Tuesdays session!
100% recommend sticking cards and cues on them to keep high practice and engagement up 🤗

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 👏🏼
