But you’re so young.

I’m having a hysterectomy and anterior wall repair today, and no, this wasn’t the plan. The last two weeks have been a blur.

I know I’m youngish for this to be happening (36), but having babies was HARD on my body.

My uterus - isn’t where it should be. My bladder - also isn’t where it should be. Those fibroids… they’re big and impacting things too.

So I’m embracing the next 6 weeks of healing as a “lady reno”, and am actually excited about giving my body a fresh start to get stronger again 💪🏻

It’s take me FOURTEEN YEARS, but I’ve got a labelled container for my speech cards 🤗

Rebecca, where are all the other sounds? Why so many blends?

Well, since you asked… I don’t really teach those earlier sounds in my day-to-day SLP life, but I’m definitely a clusters fan!

Plus, clusters can be facilitative for other target sounds 👏

1. Try kl/gl clusters for k/g stimulability
2. Working on /tr/ and /dr/ can help with /ch/ and /j/.
3. I can sometimes get a great /r/ when I work on /kr/ and /gr/
3. I separated my TRUE ‘s’ blends clusters (sl, sm, sn, sw) from the adjuncts (sk, sp, st)

Let me know if you’d like a walk through your one day 👇🏻

Assessments.

They’re on my brain because I’ve had quite a few lately, and I’m still have half way through two reports!

While no assessment looks the same for me, these are things that I like to include OR try include a few sessions in because you know #dynamicassessment 👏

Apart from a single word assessment and oral motor exam, what else do you include?

Yep… I have a little work to do 🤣

My little one is 2;9 years old, and she is ready for a bit of speech work!

👄 she will copy my mouth movements if I ask her to
👄 she fixes her words in conversation happily (will correct “otay” and “wook”)
👄 she participates in a few minutes of stimulability from me every other day
👄 she is also REALLY motivated by all of the toys in mummy’s study!

She used to delete all of her fricative sounds in initial position, now they’re all lateral/slushy… except /f/. She still can’t get correct placement for that one (which is why the bottom photo makes me giggle, she’s trying hard to put her teeth on her lips).

I’d love to start sharing my SLP journey with parents of little ones on here! Tell me what you’d like to know 👇🏻

This makes my heart happy ❤️ Do I have colour

This makes my heart happy ❤️

Do I have colour articulation cards? NO

Do I have cards with phrases and sentences on them? NO and NO.

What I do use, and have been using for 14 years, are cards printed on card stock + double sets!

Why double sets?

1. You can get double the amount of practice
2. You can play WAY more games with two sets 💪🏻

Are there any other SLPs who organise their speech cards like this?

ReST therapy for CAS. One of the HARDEST working 4

ReST therapy for CAS. One of the HARDEST working 4-year-olds I’ve ever worked with 💪🏻

He has Childhood Apraxia of Speech, and we are using ReST, an approache that has a strong evidence base! (Plus free training if you Google it).

It uses nonsense words, and in this clip he is working on coordinating movements across syllables using correct sounds, beats (stress and prosody), and smoothness (so that it is not segmented).

You can hear it is the beats and smoothness he has difficulty with.

His family have these @bjoremspeech and @iowaspeechie Prosody Cues, so we used them to teach these elements.

Shout out to mum who is one of the MOST AMAZING parents I’ve had the pleasure to work with 👏

I feel like minimal pairs gets a bad rap for being boring!

If all you do is say “pan-fan”, then yes, THAT WOULD BE boring.

But you can have fun with the mix-ups, and often, parents tell me their kids find it really funny to “cook a fan” and “switch on the pan” to create something absurd!

I just love meeting new kids and doing assessments

I just love meeting new kids and doing assessments 🥰

But here’s the thing:
1. I get nervous that I won’t hit it off with a kid.
2. I try to explain “speech things” simply to parents… but I’m not sure if I really am.
3. Many times I don’t have all of the answers and feel bad that things aren’t clear for me.

I’m not sure if you ever feel like this, but I’ve been in this gig for 14 years and still do (even if it doesn’t look like it!!!).

COMING SOON 🥳

I always feel like I could do better when it comes to providing parents with homework, information, and just general home support for speech!

So I’ve nearly finished a whole “Home practice” packet that are FOR PARENTS & CAREGIVERS!

It’s packed full of game ideas, handouts, planning, and home practice tip sheets to make homework fun, successful, and achievable 👏

Do you need this as much as I do??

Does anyone else love using a grabber?

As we practice our sounds and words, I throw these colourful packing peanuts on the ground.

Like my floor can literally be covered in these…

When we have finished our set practice, my kids use the grabber to pick up (which is really packing away) the peanuts.

It’s simple… but you guys know that’s my style 🙃
