S Facilitative Contexts Screener Assessment & Homework | Lateral & Frontal Lisps
$25.00
Do you wish you had something extra to help elicit a clear “s” sound? Have you ever wondered why children find making a clear “s” sound easier in some words?
Our S Facilitative Contexts product gives you a quick dynamic assessment to find the words where your student can already say a clear “s”. It explains why these word contexts give our best chance of eliciting a clear “s” sound, and includes a screener, word checklists, therapy cards, and 5 high-trial practice sheets for 12 different word contexts.
Use the screener as a dynamic assessment before you start traditional articulation or phonological “s” sound therapy approaches. Children start from a place of success, and you can lay a foundation for successful treatment. Save yourself time – everything is ready to be printed and used in your session!
