S Facilitative Contexts Screener and Homework for 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 will help you dig deeper on eliciting a clear /s/ sound. This product explains why these word contexts give our best chance of eliciting a clear /s/ sound in children, a screener, word checklists, therapy cards, and 5 high-trial practice sheets for 12 different word contexts.
Use the keyword environments as a step before traditional articulation or phonological /s/ sound therapy approaches. Children will feel confident, and you can lay a foundation for successful treatment. Save yourself time – everything is ready to be printed and used in your session!
Description
Does your student have a lateral lisp, frontal lisp, or /s/ distortion and you’re STUCK at the elicitation level? SLPs around the world are using the most comprehensive facilitative contexts screener on the market to find specific words and contexts to give their student the best chance of saying a clear /s/ sound. This means you start therapy straight away, saving weeks and months of frustration trying to get /s/ in isolation!
“This is an amazing resource for /s/! Using this resource, I was able to identify two facilitative contexts for my student who has a lateral lisp and after just a few sessions, she is now beginning to generalize her “new s sound.” I will be using this again and again.”
Our 158-page facilitative contexts resource combines research with trusted clinical experience. We have done the hard work for you, saving you time! There is no need to research, generate word lists, and create your own activities. It is all in our pack. Just print and go!
Every SLP needs the S Facilitative Contexts Screener in their toolbox!
“This facilitative context was instrumental in identifying a context that works for a student who had been unable to produce the /s/ sound for years.”

A much needed resource
Those lateral lisps can be tough! I have also run into a slew of students who produce /s/ by placing their tongue on their bottom teeth (and use the medial portion of their tongue for /t,d/. This is a great resource. I love the pictures of how air flows out of the mouth and what the student needs to do to correct that. Seeing it helped some of my kids understand how they were in error

Great resource
I loved using this resource for students who had a difficult time understanding where to place their articulators for the correct production of /s/ especially with a lateral lisp. An easy to use resource that I would recommend to anyone who does not know where to start with a frontal or lateral lisp!
