I love the simplicity of the handouts and my parents appreciated the information. I wish they had more on different topics like the dreaded /r/ sound!

This is probably one of my most used resources when I assess phonological disorders. I love being able to attach the relevant handout to an assessment report to give parents a little more information about their child’s phonological processes in a visually appealing format with parent-friendly language and graphics.

I have found these helpful handouts to have on hand to provide concrete explanations to parents of specific phonological patterns. Though some are easy to explain, I find myself stumbling over describing others. This makes for an easy reference in sessions. Thanks a million!

Love love love this! Helps parents understand something that sounds overwhelming at first. Also helps them feel confident that their child will make great progress when they hear about what will happen in therapy.
