Articulation Cues Checklist | Free Speech Sound Elicitation Tool for SLPs
$0.00
Have you only tried visuals (like mouth cues) and verbal instructions with a student who still can’t produce their target sound?
Our free Articulation Cues Checklist puts 8 cue types in one place: visual, verbal, tactile, motokinesthetic, metaphor, gestural, shaping, and facilitative contexts. Trial each cue type, then mark whether it was successful, had some success, or was unsuccessful, so you know which ones to explore further. Just print and go!
Description
Most SLPs have a few go-to cues, but different cues work for different children. When your usual tricks fall flat, or a student is non-stimulable, it’s easy to feel stuck at the elicitation level with no clear path forward.
This checklist gives you a bigger-picture framework, so you can widen your lens and work through every cue type systematically. It also keeps you accountable for the full range of cues, not just your favorites. By the end of the session, you’ll know which cue types to build on and which ones to set aside.
DOWNLOAD THIS FREE RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
➊ – Find a way in when you can’t elicit a target sound in speech therapy.
➋ – Track each student’s response to every cue type, ready for your notes and next session.
➌ – Explore cue types you might not have tried before.
➍ – Combine cues with intention, like pairing a visual with a tactile cue.
WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO TRY?
This free checklist shows you the range of cue types. Our Sound Handbooks are the next step, giving you the specific cues within each type. Knowing you should trial a metaphor or a tactile cue is one thing. Knowing which metaphor or tactile cue to use is another. Each handbook collates 100+ evidence-based cues for one sound, organized by cue type, so when one cue doesn’t work you can turn the page and try the next. No guesswork, just options.
Choose your sound: S & Z · K & G · Ch & J · SH · L
Each handbook has seven chapters covering the different cue types, plus word lists, color photos and flashcards.
