Final Consonant Deletion using Multiple Oppositions

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
