Who said you have to work on “r” in initial position FIRST?

By choosing where the child can say a clearer, more accurate “r”, we were able to start therapy successfully and accurately (and those other “r” positions are correcting on their own!!).

Have you ever had more success in “r” clusters?

We usually tell parents of LATE TALKERS to pause, but I encourage parents of children with speech sound delays to pause too!!!

Yes, this child still needed a zebra cue, but often we have to build these steps to foster self-awareness so our kids can fix their speech.

Shoutout to this mum who was better than me at demonstrating many of these 😂 I can’t tell you how LESS SCARY an oral motor exam is when everyone gets involved.

Want some MOTIVATION? Get a dinosaur who ONLY eats “back /k/“ sounds!!! Your preschoolers will be more engaged to fix and clarify whether they meant “tape” or “cape” if they can see the dinosaur eat the card 🦖

As much as possible, I try NOT TO MODEL THE WORD during an assessment so that the child isn’t directly imitating me (which can influence my results).

Are there are other tips you recommend?

Hey, hi, g’day!! I’m Rebecca and I’ve been a speech pathologist for 17 years.

I was thinking recently about “career statements” and what makes me passionate about this job. And put really simply:

I love to work with preschool-aged children to help them be 100% clear and intelligible by the time they start formal schooling.

Do you have a “why” 👇🏼

The three things I’m always considering are:

1. Has the child made EVEN MORE progress with their speech, even though they’ve had a break?
2. Has the child lost some of their accuracy from when I last saw them (this is okay - it just means we might have to do more home practice during breaks)
3. With my new information and fresh ears and eyes, should I continue with the same goals and therapy approaches, or do we need to change things up?

Honestly, I think every SLP should consider re-assessing their students after a school term/block of therapy to evaluate goals and intervention 👏🏼 what are your thoughts?

It’s about time that non-rhotic “r” speaking countries had some “r” materials that work with OUR accents 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We’re looking to expand our best-selling Facilitative Contexts packets with a non-rhotic “r” version! Comment “list” so I can send a DM on how to apply.

Connecting and collaborating with SLPs around the world is so important to us (especially as I have studied and worked in 4 countries myself!!!).

  1. MIMI NAYLOR –

    MANY THANKS – LOOKING FORWARD TO USING THESE IN SESSIONS!

  2. S Parker (verified owner) –

    I did not notice that the minimal pair cards were not included until after I purchased the handbook. The information was great but I was disappointed that there were no cards for this price.

    • Rebecca Reinking –

      Hi there, I’m sorry that you felt disappointed about this, because I receive a lot of feedback that the price is justified for the comprehensiveness and amount of research that went into this. For some background information, it was a 6-month project reading over 40 journal articles and trying to breakdown and implement the information so that SLPs can literally pick up and apply the approach the next day. I try to be as clear as I can in my product description and the naming of my resources, so I am really open to feedback on what I should say differently. I can look at adjusting “handbook” or “intervention guide” if you think the title is misleading? Thanks for your feedback, I really do take in everything and have a lot of thought on the topics.

  3. Chris –

    So excited that this is available here as well as on TPT! ASP is a wealth of resources!

  4. Abby –

    Thanks to your minimal pairs handbook, I got feedback from a parent today that made my day! She said that in my first session with her 5-year-old, I jokingly said “we can’t open a door with tea” and he thought that was hilarious! It totally clicked with him since then and he’s made so much progress in only two sessions so far. His mum also mentioned that they’ve been using pragmatic cues like “is that what you meant?” at home, and that he doesn’t see it as confrontational and is happy to correct his speech. Thank you so much for this amazing, comprehensive resource that I go back to regularly!

    • Rebecca Reinking –

      I love hearing this feedback! Thank you for sharing, and good on you for implementing this evidence-based approach!

  5. Lindsey Hockel (verified owner) –

    I am OBSESSED with this handbook! In theory I understand minimal pairs but in practice one million little questions pop up for me. (Which targets should I select? What do I do if the child isn’t stimulable for a target?) Rebecca has done ALL the work for me here and I am just so darn grateful to have a go-to manual for this valuable, surprisingly complex, therapy approach from an active clinician who uses this stuff on a regular basis. I remember watching along as she worked on this and it’s amazing to me the time and collaboration (with the researchers themselves!) that has gone into this. BEYOND grateful! Thank you thank you thank you, Rebecca!

  6. Krystal Chen (verified owner) –

    The toolkit makes this approach accessible for me, a SLPA! I’ve been enjoying seeing the minimal pairs concept click in my kiddos and feel so much more equipped and confident using the approach the way I know it is meant to be used.

  7. Becky (verified owner) –

    I love, love, love this Handbook! Rebecca did such an incredible job collating all the research, tips, and ideas together for this approach. It’s a must-have resource for therapists working on speech!!

  8. Alison R. (verified owner) –

    I have been using minimal pairs loosely, for years. This book helped me to level up my use of this amazing strategy with my students. Thank you for making the research accessible and applicable. Highly recommend.

  9. Annie J. (verified owner) –

    What a lifesaver!!! Not sure how a 4th year uni student can make it this far and not have done any minimal pairs therapy. You help my hand and lead the way when I needed it 🙂

  10. Cecile F. (verified owner) –

    I’m blown away by how useful this handbook is for guiding my minimal pairs intervention. Thank you for always creating such useful resources for SLPs.

  11. Carley D. (verified owner) –

    This should be required course reading in grad school….. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING resource!!! Never have I had something that makes me feel so confident in an approach. These handbooks make me feel like an expert!! 🙂

  12. Victoria R. (verified owner) –

    I was on the fence about buying this product for a few months. I finally pulled the trigger and got it. I’m so glad I did! It’s very thorough and explains minimal pairs approach really well. I’ve been out of grad school for nine years, but I’ve never really understood minimal pairs therapy and how to implement it. I feel more confident and hope to buy the cycles handbook soon.

  13. Esther G. (verified owner) –

    Amazing resource! So clear and intricate! Includes everything you’ll ever want to know about minimal pairs! So glad I purchased it
