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.

Learning a new sound can be hard! Even though we didn’t practice this sound too much in isolation (I moved onto syllables and words very quickly), I think they were working so hard trying to cue themselves to use the “k” sound, that they kept saying the sound in isolation… then the rest of the word.

Saying it fast helped 👏🏼

The fourth leg of our “Which Phonological Intervention Should I Choose?” tour in Perth was AMAZING!

I was so impressed with the WA speech pathologists!! The kids are lucky to have you all supporting their speech sound development 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Shoutout to the team: Paul and Amanda for getting this event off the ground and looking after everyone so well.

Do you see how we had to use visuals to try to help the child HEAR the difference in the sounds by SEEING the difference?

Have you ever worked on or seen this before?

#speechsounddisorders #speechdelay #speechsounds #adventuresinspeechpathology
Have you ever had a child do this?
I find holding up the mouth cues to SHOW the child the sound can really help 👏🏼

Find them in the AISP shop, and start being more effective with your cues!

What are your thoughts about this??

Being a parent to a child with speech sound errors, I am guided by HER and how SHE FEELS about her speech.

I told myself I won’t “make her” come to therapy if she is happy with how she sounds.

Sometimes our students need to “see” what they’re doing with their tongue 👅 and then you can find the right cues that help them with new tongue placement!

Do you relate? Were you told to start an assessment speaking to the parents and getting a case history first?

That doesn’t work for me 🙃

#speechsounds #speechdelay #speechdelaykids #adventuresinspeechpathology #speechsounddisorders #privatepracticeslp
1️⃣ We started with opening the mouth
2️⃣ Accepted a throaty sound and shaped it into a softer sound 
3️⃣ Next we cued the child to say it faster 🤗

Make sure you follow AISP for all our speech elicitation tips!

Has this ever worked for you? Have you elicited a “y” starting with the “ee” vowel?

Who says assessments have to be dry and boring??

The amount of laughter we get imitating these animals as part of our oral motor assessment is soooooo good for rapport building!!

Do you send video clips to parents and carers? I’ve found it can be particularly helpful at the beginning of therapy when the child is still learning about their sounds and we want to reinforce consistent cues that work in our therapy session, in the home environment.

  • Thank you so much for the resources on this site! I have already found numerous materials that I can use in my Pre-k to 5 setting. I was wondering if you had anything for Same and Different? I saw compare and contrast but that’s a bit too high for my younger Pre-K kids. I just don’t have the time to search all the way back in the blog. You know how the time issue goes!!! Thanks so much, again! We need a site like this one!

    Reply
    • I have no same/different as of yet. I put up whatever resources I am using with my kids and haven’t had this as a goal yet.
