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 so helpful! So many of my students struggle with L clusters, and having the visuals and minimal pairs story has been so helpful. 10/10 recommend!

  2. Heidi D. (verified owner)

    Love all these phonological minimal pairs toolkits. Great visuals and cues. So glad to have them as a resource in my office.

  3. Kayla S. (verified owner)

    Very useful toolkit for preschool speech! I like that there are flashcards both in color and in back-and-white. I’ve had the kids decorate their own flashcards or used them as coloring/sicker pages.

  4. William M. (verified owner)

    Another great resource to use with students and families. It provides great print outs for parents and teacher and also provides easy to use activities that you can print and go. Thank you!

  5. Heather R. (verified owner)

    Love the pictures for cards and the story illustrations. Materials are useful engaging and motivating

    I love this! Used so often! Great resource to have in your ‘must have’ toolbox.
