We have tips, tips, and more tips!!!! If this cue doesn’t work to encourage a clear “ch”, don’t forget we wrote the Ch Sound Handbook where you can find 100+ more ideas 💡

All it takes is 5-10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts (words that encourage a clear production of our target sound), but this can set you up for INSTANT success!

If you took my free SLP Summit talk, then you saw these screeners in action! Why waster weeks and months with no progress when it doesn’t have to be that way?

We’ve bundled and discounted our THERAPY CHANGING facilitative contexts packets to get faster progress in articulation therapy 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

If you watched by free SLP Summit presentation, then you’d know how quickly the students in my case studied progressed when we found words that encouraged clear sounds!!

Apart from the four PDH you get, just know that you will NEVER have to take another PD on minimal pairs again 👏🏼

Don’t let the term “facilitative contexts” overwhelm you.

They’re just carefully chosen words 👏🏼 we have seen the most AMAZING progress with our articulation students last year when we took 10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts.

It’s so relieving to “skip the isolation phase” and start therapy with a set of WORDS the child can say CLEARLY!

You KNOW you could do better! You KNOW you still have lots of questions! So why not MASTER the Minimal Pairs Approach once and for all?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to go on autopilot because you just understand and know what to do with minimal pairs therapy?

COMMENT “master” now so you can register and for early bird pricing. We kick off on February 10th, mark those calendars 🗓️

You never know what’s going to 💫click💫 when it comes to eliciting speech sounds.

At least our Speech Sound Handbooks GIVE YOU all those cues, tips and tricks to try 👌🏼

Stuck teaching clusters? Try chaining! It’s visual and breaks down a complex word into smaller, easier to say chunks for the child 🙌🏽

2025 is shaping up to be a BIG YEAR for professional development 👏🏼

If you use INACCURATE mouth cue visuals, then how can you expect your child to say the sound ACCURATELY?! 🤯🤯🤯

Give your child or student the best chance by showing them pictures that:
1. Look real and are detailed 
2. Highlight voicing and airstream
3. Represent YOUR students mouths

It’s my 40th birthday today 🎈thank you mum for having the girls so I could go on an adventure to my 53rd new country (in Bali, Indonesia).

I’ve loved the floating breakfast trays, rice paddies, spiritual cleanses, temples, monkeys, massages, and especially the beautiful local people here!

Have you ever tried this for your students?

We teach clusters a LOT, and forward and backward chaining can be so helpful 💪🏼

    This resource is great! I love the story to introduce the concept. I feel like this is the most successful way to introduce a concept to my students. The pictures are bright and engaging too. Thanks for another great resource!

  2. Jessica B. (verified owner)

    Thank you for this wonderful resource! I especially love the metaphor story and find it such a great way to teach this rule to little children. The cards are so fun, bright and a nice size to use in therapy too! 🙂

  3. Kelyn G. (verified owner)

    Love these resources! I own almost all of them. The story breaks it down in an easy way for students to understand the concept, the visuals are amazing, and the minimal pairs are functional and have great pictures.

  4. Stacy S. (verified owner)

    Another go to resource when working with gliders! I love using the story in the early stages of the therapy process to introduce the idea to students. The added visual of the running arms and legs to represent the tension/lifting/bunching of the tongue is genius! A very helpful tool in my phonological process toolkit for w/r.

  5. Allison M. (verified owner)

    As a school-based SLP, gliding is one of the MOST common phonological processes I see every day. This toolkit gives me a great place to start with my kiddos and I love that it helps them understand differences in manner of production for different sounds. I have seen such a difference using these child-friendly toolkits in the treatment of speech sound disorders in my speech room.

  6. Molly L. (verified owner)

    So excited to use this resource! One area I do not feel as confident treating as an SLP is speech sound disorders. I love how this resource explains the step, and includes great target words to get you started.

  7. Gwendolyn L. (verified owner)

    I love these minimal pair resources! The story is a great way to introduce and remind the client what we are working on. I love that I can just print out the cards and have them ready to go. Saves so much time!

  8. Leticia G. (verified owner)

    One of the best resources out there. My kids love the story and I have seen such wonderful progress in their speech. Thank you, Rebecca!
