Who said you have to work on β€œr” in initial position FIRST? 

By choosing where the child can say a clearer, more accurate β€œr”, we were able to start therapy successfully and accurately (and those other β€œr” positions are correcting on their own!!).

Have you ever had more success in β€œr” 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.

Want some MOTIVATION? Get a dinosaur who ONLY eats β€œback /k/β€œ sounds!!! Your preschoolers will be more engaged to fix and clarify whether they meant β€œtape” or β€œcape” if they can see the dinosaur eat the card πŸ¦–

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 β€œcareer 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 β€œwhy” πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

#speechdelay #speechdevelopment #speechpathologist  #adventuresinspeechpathology
I’d love to know if there are other differing or similar opinions?

Start the conversation πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

#speechsounds #speechsounddisorders #speechdelay #schoolslp #speechpath #slp2b #adventuresinspeechpathology
Prove me wrong!!! Because (unless you read it in our Ch & J Handbook), I bet you have never tried this before to elicit the β€œch” sound!!!

Also - tag an SLP who needs to know this πŸ‘πŸΌ

#articulation #articulationtherapy #speechdelay #speechpath #speechdelaykids #speechsounds #speechsounddisorders #adventuresinspeechpathology
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 πŸ‘πŸΌ what are your thoughts?

#privatepracticeslp #schoolslp #preschoolslp #speechpath #adventuresinspeechpathology
It’s about time that non-rhotic β€œr” speaking countries had some β€œr” materials that work with OUR accents πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

We’re looking to expand our best-selling Facilitative Contexts packets with a non-rhotic β€œr” version! Comment β€œlist” 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!!!).

    • Hi Elizabeth – I like how you think. Training parents is the key to helping children get quicker results. I am a Canadian SLP with 18 years experience working with school aged children. Nothing has a greater impact on a childs speech development then a parent working at home with their child. When teamed with an SLP who believes strongly in a parents ability to make a difference and who supports them fully in working on a home program, the results will come much quicker. I have worked with many parents and children via teletherapy for the past 8 years and this is my preferred method o f service delivery. Find out more here:
