Description
There are different therapy approaches that you can use to teach final consonants for children who exhibit final consonant deletion. This packet takes a multiple oppositions approach where you will be contrasting the child’s error with up to 3 to 5 different contrasts. The goal of using multiple pairs (or contrasts) is that we can create more widespread and faster changes to the child’s speech sound system vs. teaching one pair at a time. With 28 different sets to choose from, you have a LOT of options for treating final consonants.
e.g., moo vs. mood, moose, moon
tea vs. teeth, tease, teach, team
bee vs. beep, bead, bees, beach, bean

Coming up with multiple opposition sets on your own is sooo tough, this resource is amazing! I love the variety of initial consonants so you can pick the set that works best for each student.

This is the resource I didn’t know I needed! I had never used a multiple oppositions approach for final consonant deletion before find this resource! I love having another approach in my toolbox and this resource makes it so easy to implement. I appreciate the thoughtful target selection and clear visuals.
