If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

Learning a new sound can be hard! Even though we didn’t practice this sound too much in isolation (I moved onto syllables and words very quickly), I think they were working so hard trying to cue themselves to use the “k” sound, that they kept saying the sound in isolation… then the rest of the word.

Saying it fast helped 👏🏼

The fourth leg of our “Which Phonological Intervention Should I Choose?” tour in Perth was AMAZING!

I was so impressed with the WA speech pathologists!! The kids are lucky to have you all supporting their speech sound development 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Shoutout to the team: Paul and Amanda for getting this event off the ground and looking after everyone so well.

Do you see how we had to use visuals to try to help the child HEAR the difference in the sounds by SEEING the difference?

Have you ever worked on or seen this before?

Have you ever had a child do this?
I find holding up the mouth cues to SHOW the child the sound can really help 👏🏼

Find them in the AISP shop, and start being more effective with your cues!

What are your thoughts about this??

Being a parent to a child with speech sound errors, I am guided by HER and how SHE FEELS about her speech.

I told myself I won’t “make her” come to therapy if she is happy with how she sounds.

Sometimes our students need to “see” what they’re doing with their tongue 👅 and then you can find the right cues that help them with new tongue placement!

Do you relate? Were you told to start an assessment speaking to the parents and getting a case history first?

That doesn’t work for me 🙃

1️⃣ We started with opening the mouth
2️⃣ Accepted a throaty sound and shaped it into a softer sound 
3️⃣ Next we cued the child to say it faster 🤗

Make sure you follow AISP for all our speech elicitation tips!

Has this ever worked for you? Have you elicited a “y” starting with the “ee” vowel?

Who says assessments have to be dry and boring??

The amount of laughter we get imitating these animals as part of our oral motor assessment is soooooo good for rapport building!!

Do you send video clips to parents and carers? I’ve found it can be particularly helpful at the beginning of therapy when the child is still learning about their sounds and we want to reinforce consistent cues that work in our therapy session, in the home environment.

“Great for minimal pairs homework. Good range of activities to choose from. Much more engaging than sending minimal pair cards home for practise!”

“Love these activities for my students when I am using a minimal pair approach. Such simple, but yet effective activities to help a child learn the difference between the two sounds as well as the semantic difference when each sound is used. I use these in therapy as well as send them home for extra practice.

  1. johnsonajessica18 (verified owner)

    I needed resources to give to my students that would encourage home practice while also making it fun and while also helping parents come up with ideas at home. This did not disappoint. I also use them to “warm up” our target speech sounds at the beginning of my sessions. The pictures are engaging and fun and so helpful in planning with our busy schedules.

  2. Alison C. (verified owner)

    Provides heaps of additional handout activities for s/sh minimal pairs auditory discrimination and production, really handy for easy session planning and to send home for homework. Great extension to the Fronting Toolkit.

  3. Katherine S. (verified owner)

    Great resource for my SH/S students. The minimal pairs are easy for them to understand and the worksheets worked great as carryover for home.

  4. Gianna R. (verified owner)

    Rebecca has made me love to work with Fronting. I have a lot of the resources she offers, and they all match perfectly.

  5. Jessica B. (verified owner)
