Description
Does your student have a lateral lisp, frontal lisp, or /s/ distortion and you’re STUCK at the elicitation level? Did you know that you can start therapy at the word level and save weeks of frustration trying to get /s/ in isolation? Imagine the confidence boost they will feel having words that they can say correctly from the beginning!!
Our facilitative contexts resource combines research with trusted clinical experience so that you can find specific words (and contexts) to give your student the best chance of saying a clear, correct /s/ sound.
Every SLP needs our S Facilitative Contexts in their toolbox!
Based on the evidence and a highly requested companion resource to the S & Z Sound Handbook, the S Facilitative Contexts packet allows you to probe a child’s productions in words that give the strongest possibility of the tongue getting in the right shape and position to produce the /s/ sound.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
➊ — Learn about facilitating a /s/ sound using different keyword contexts.
➋ — Have access to a screener to probe /s/ stimulability and guide the therapy targets you should choose that work for your student.
➌ — Provide children on your caseload with another option to elicit their best /s/ sound.
❹ — Access materials that encourage high-trial practice featuring six different facilitative contexts for the /s/ sound (includes one page of cards and five activity practice sheets/context).
Our 110-page S Facilitative Contexts packet saves you time – the hard work has been done for you. There is no need to research, generate word lists, and create your own activities. It is all in our pack. Just print and go!

This has been so helpful and easy to figure out how my student can get the best production of the target /s/. Everything is in one place.
Tammy M. –
This is a fabulous resource for /s/ and am so glad I purchased it! Among other things included, I love the screener as it helps with determining a good starting place for getting the best results with /s/. Facilitative contexts for /s/ explained was very helpful and informative as well. I love this resource!
Jody M. –
I love using facilitative contexts for speech sound work, and this resource did not disappoint. So convenient to have the screener included with the practice sheets. This has been an amazing option for practice with my clients who have struggled with /s/ for a long time.
Heidi T. –
I LOVE this resource! This is SO incredibly helpful to have at my fingertips, without having to sort through my /s/ pictures to find just the right ones for certain clients. This has quickly become one of my “must-have” resources for working on /s/!
Krista K. –
Love this resource! Easy to print and go. Pairs great with your /s/ and /z/ handbook. Thank you so much!
Gwendolyn L. –
Very helpful! This has really helped my /s/ clients get the motor pattern for /s/ before moving on to different contexts. The activity sheets are great for homework! So easy to print and send home.

This resource is an absolute must-have for all SLP’s, it just takes all the guesswork out of those tricky /s/ sound errors. I love the screener and use it so often that I have actually memorised it! Cannot recommend enough!
Samantha Lewis (verified owner) –
The research time and effort that goes into compiling these resources is invaluable for busy clinicians and helps new therapists understand how important it is to consider the placement of vowels and other sounds when choosing word targets. Recommended for new and experienced clinicians!

The activity pages are great to print for “homework” and I like that there are activity options without pictures (my older clients don’t always need the visual!).
Thanks AISP team!

Well worth buying if you are undecided. it is well organised , well laid out, excellent vocabulary selection and comes with its evidence base. You will not be disappointed, it is another reliable resource from the excellent people at AISP . I’ve used it with an older child who is a bit reluctant so it helps me maintain trust and rapport by getting to a successful starting point more quickly.
