It’s been interesting straddling both sides of speech therapy: 

Being a speech pathologist who only treats speech sounds
AND being a parent of a child with speech difficulties.

It has sure changed how I speak to and train parents, has allowed me to adjust my expectations, and be more compassionate and understanding of how the challenges!

Are you someone on both sides?

You learn bite-sized speech stuff from me EVERY DAY 🤗 Imagine how far you will grow clinically as an SLP when you learn for four hours with me!!!

I ♥️ minimal pairs - COMMENT “master” and let’s just go on this adventure where you finally nail at least one phonological intervention!

Have you experienced this? A cue that works for one student won’t work for another?

Instead of trying to make a cue fit a child, I’m more about being flexible and guided by the child and how they learn!

This means I need to know lots of cues, and match the right ones to each of my kids. Agree… disagree…. Other thoughts??

Comment “master” because you at least need to know how in-depth this course is… and how much you really don’t know about minimal pairs!!!

So, make 2025 the year you really master a phonological intervention 👊🏽💪🏼👌

If I can admit that there was a LOT I didn’t know about the minimal pairs approach… can you?

Combining the evidence with 18 years clinical experience, I want this to be the last PD you’ll ever have to take on this therapy approach.

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!!

Description

Do you have children on your caseload who find it really hard to say and sequence /l/ clusters? Are you finding that your student continues to delete either the first or second part of their cluster and you’re stuck?! Perhaps you have tried all of your tricks, and don’t know where to go from here?

The ‘L’ Clusters Help Sheets resource uses different multisensory cues that break down how to say /l/ clusters using metaphors, visual cues, forward and backward chaining to help students be successful using consonant clusters.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊–Cues to break down a complex word (/l/ cluster) into smaller, manageable parts.
❷–To try different types of cues, and nothing has helped “click”.
❸–Additional cues while using the complexity approach, minimal pairs, or cycles approach, to teach the cluster.
❹–To support students with motor planning challenges (e.g., CAS) that require specific cueing, coarticulation, and support to sequence clusters.

THREE DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR EACH /I/ CLUSTER:
1. Forward chaining (e.g., f-lake, flake)
2. Backward chaining (e.g., lake, lake, lake, flake)
3. Flashcards with visual cues on the top of the card

MULTISENSORY CUEING:
We know that children learn differently, and these ‘L’ Clusters Help Sheets give you multiple options for teaching /l/ clusters. Teach your child that they have to use their /b/ sound when they see the bouncing ball visual or a /f/ sound when they see a bunny teeth picture. You might like to tap or trace with your finger to reinforce the continual airflow and need to join the first sound to the rest of the word. This helps the child break down the word into smaller, manageable speech units to help the child to “hear” the individual sounds or syllables of the /l/ cluster word.

DIGITAL FILE CONTENTS:
✅ — Clusters included: /bl, fl, gl, kl, pl/ and /sl/
✅ — 12 x Forward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 12 x Backward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 72 flashcards (x12 for each /l/ cluster)
✅ — 80 pages of color + b&w pages provided

What SLP’s like you are saying:

❝ I ABSOLUTELY love this. I love the visuals that are on it. Kids seem to really understand it. Easy for homework too.❞

❝ This resource really “clicks” with my students. I often break up sounds in clusters like this verbally but it’s so nice to be able to show a visual and have the parents point to each part of the word in teletherapy❞

❝ This resource is so helpful! My students really benefit from the picture visuals to mark both sounds in blends. I love using this resource in therapy and sending it home for carryover❞
