What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

Parents can forget, or might not be able to attend your speech therapy session.

My top tip is to record you explaining what you say! It makes sure everyone is on the same page 👏🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼 

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech 
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech 
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep 
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

Why am I late with my Bjorem Speech Cruise recaps? Who’s got time to splice these together when you’re laughing, connecting, and gathering 100ish talkative SLPs together?!

Special mention to our keynote speaker, the incredible @phuonglienpalafox, my SLP besties @rocktherspeech, @freetobeme.speech and @mrsspeechiep - and the entire @bjoremspeech team who made this possible.

Our sponsors delivered on the goodies bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @speakingofsamantics @meaviatoys @daileyeducationalservices

Whooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 made it on board and officially checked in for the 2025 Bjorem Speech Cruise @bjoremspeech 

So excited to to connect and present with all the SLPs on board! Follow my stories for all the behind the scenes!

#bjoremspeech #adventuresinspeechpathology #speechpathologist #speechpathology
I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

Learn how to teach and elicit the ‘sh’ sound with these verbal instructions  and carefully chosen words to encourage round lips👌🏼

I could keep coming up with more mini ideas… should I make a round two version?

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

#adventuresinspeechpathology #speechsounds #speechsounddisorders #speechdelay #articulation
I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

#articulation #speechsounddisorders #speechsounds #speechdelay #schoolslp #adventuresinspeechpathology
If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

Description

Do you find it hard to explain to parents and teachers WHAT you’ll be doing in speech therapy and WHY? Would clear and easy-to-understand handouts that explain phonological therapy approaches such as minimal pairs, cycles, and multiple oppositions help? Each page of these handouts introduces the idea that there are various phonological interventions that we can choose so we try to match the right approach to our students.

WATCH A QUICK VIDEO PREVIEW OF THE PHONOLOGY INTERVENTIONS: HANDOUTS FOR PARENTS & TEACHERS

1. A summary of the approach is provided to help you explain WHY you will be choosing the targets that you are.
2. This is followed by an outline of what therapy might look like so that parents and teachers are aware that it IS a process that can take time.
3. A sample target list with picture cards has been added to make it easier to understand. I strongly recommend reading & discussing these sheets with parents and teachers to answer any of their questions and make sure that they understand the therapy process.

Phonological Interventions in this set: Minimal pairs, cycles approach, multiple oppositions, maximal oppositions, treatment of the empty set, complexity approach, core vocabulary approach, stimulability intervention, articulation approach (traditional), articulation approach (principles of motor learning),
PLUS three additional sheets covering: articulation vs. phonology, How long does therapy take? and What is carryover?

Don’t get caught out with parents and teachers! Explain phonological therapy and patterns more confidently, and download the discounted Phonology Handouts Bundle for Speech Therapy

Who would use these? These would be useful to provide to parents at the start of therapy when you are introducing your goals. You can send it as part of homework to help explain what you would like parents to do. They would also be useful during an IEP or school meeting as you report on your progress.
I have listed the references (journal articles and texts) that I used to create this resource in the packet and you might find it useful to further your knowledge in particular interventions.

I never hesitate to add them to my collection!

  4. Logan N. (verified owner)

    It can be so overwhelming for caregivers to absorb all the information regarding phonological processes, so these are great to have on hand to share after initial eligibility/IEP meetings.

    I can’t say enough great things about this resource. It’s so helpful for parents to understand my approach and explains it in such simple terms! Thank you!
