Have you ever used the Nuffield program for Childh Have you ever used the Nuffield program for Childhood Apraxia or Speech?

We’re working on quiet plosives in CV and VC positions. I love that the program contains four cards for each word!

I’m also using @bjoremspeech cards to cue for the /p/ sound.

The reinforcer activity was to give felt pieces that then make a tangram picture!

I found words that the child COULD SAY correctly, and practiced those 🙌🏻

Can you see any patterns of where they are most accurate?

Simple therapy activity. You don’t need to be re Simple therapy activity. You don’t need to be really fun.

🥳 Just be fun enough! 🥳

We used a simple dinosaur mouth to practice our words. He was engaged, and we got 13 practices in a minute 🙌🏻That’s all that matters!!

Please don’t think that you need every fancy toy! Simple activities can be so effective.

FYI: two weeks ago I taught this little one /kl/ and /gl/ blends and they have generalised to final position!!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Cues and syllables. At around the age of 4, I real Cues and syllables. At around the age of 4, I really like to check those early phonological awareness skills, especially for those kids who have been seeing me for a little while due to a severe speech sound delay.

Many of my kids show weak syllable deletion, difficulties perceiving and identifying sounds, or just lack awareness of “syllableness”.

While I love to use the body to clap and tap the syllables in words, I also little to use real objects to represent the “beats”. With this little one, I use Cued Articulation gestures to help them “see” the sounds.

What’s your fave thing to use to work on beats?

Any guesses what this is?? I am LOVING making new Any guesses what this is??

I am LOVING making new metaphors for speech patterns and substitutions that you see in your caseload.

I think I have 5 new Minimal Pair Toolkits that I’m halfway through 🤗 it’s been so fun to get back to creating (vs. attending meetings, replying to emails and fixing problems 😅).

I saw a psychologist yesterday! And I was excited I saw a psychologist yesterday!

And I was excited. I have ups and downs. High expectations of myself. Difficulties balancing being a mum, SLP, wife and small business owner.

I have mum guilt. I’m stressed. I love working... maybe too much.

Anyway. It’s okay to admit that you need someone to help ❤️

Why do the SLOW way when you can make BIG CHANGES Why do the SLOW way when you can make BIG CHANGES and maybe have a child in and out of your door in three sessions?

👉🏻 I posted this last year, but I want to remind you all again!

So it might not always go like this, but for some kids, it is literally like you flicked a switch and their sound system almost instantly goes, “ohhhhhh.... L and W are different sounds so I should be saying them differently”. With this little example, I DID have to give placement cues in my first session as he wasn’t stimulable for /l/. And you’re allowed to!

But I stuck to my guns with the minimal pairs approach to help him understand that he has to contrast the sounds so that they make sense to people like me ☺️ At the end of the day, we shouldn’t be keeping our kids longer in therapy than they need to. Choosing an approach that thinks ‘big picture’ and can make big changes can speed up how long they’re on your caseload.

One set of cards, one type of gesture, one special One set of cards, one type of gesture, one special trick that you learned WILL NOT WORK for every child!!!

I get asked a lot what I’d do for kids who can’t say /k/, /r/, or a frontal lisp.

And it’s different every time, because what my kids do is different!

So don’t keep using the same cue and wondering why it isn’t working. Try DIFFERENT visuals, see how metaphors, orthographic and pragmatic cues work.

Try a mirror, give phonetic placement cues, facilitate using vowels, and trial the sound in different positions including clusters!

Your bag of tricks need to be BIG!

Feedback from SLP’s like you:
“I absolutely love this resource!!! It is such a cute story for little ones that makes them understand the “tail” sounds!”
“This really helped to explain the concept of final consonant deletion to my client. He has struggled to understand the concept previously so this is a game-changer for us in therapy. Thanks :)”
“I wish I’d bought this sooner! I introduced this to a couple of my kiddos and it instantly clicked! No more FCD!! Well worth purchasing this product!”
“Really “clicked” for a lot of my students! The visual and the story helped them understand the parts of our words so much for than when I’d write it orthographically or say it to them! Now, we can use little animals and they use the tail as a visual to say the final sound. Amazing!”
