  1. Lisa Banner (verified owner) –

    Love this resource / concept and the visuals 🙂 Everything from AISP is a very high standard and easy to use resource. My clients LOVE the “snake out of the cage” concept a lot. Thank you Rebecca

  2. Emily M. (verified owner) –

    I have been working on th – s with a student for over 2 months with little to no success i bought this product as soon as it was released and my student FINALLY got it!!! I was so happy!! I think i have bought every resource created by adventures in speech pathology and i have not been disappointed once!

  3. Lindsay L. (verified owner) –

    This is a great resource for my students who lisp. It really helps tune them in to what it sounds like when they stick out their tongue when saying /s/ rather than keeping it behind their teeth. It makes them aware that it changes the whole meaning of the word.

  4. Melanie L. (verified owner) –

    Such a common process that I encounter and the snake in and out of the cage is such a great visual that really resonated with my kids. Another great resource!

  5. Stacy S. (verified owner) –

    I love how the story introduces the concept of phonological processes/minimal pairs and puts it in an easy to understand format for young children. I use this as a go to when I am working with students in the early stages of therapy. Not only is the story easy to implement with both digital and print options, but the visual cues are something that I go back to regularly throughout the therapeutic process. Thanks for another great resource!
