You can find the speech mouth and animal cues on the AISP Shop, they are so helpful to have 👏🏼

I get asked this question all the time!! Which cues do I prefer?

👄 I generally use the mouth cues to help with placement of the tongue, teeth, lips, and for those kids who might not look at not face/mouth 
🐍 I use the animal cues for my preschool-aged students a LOT - they really relate to, and can remember them easier! 

You can find both in our shop!

“Thank you for catering to different learning styles” was common feedback last week, and so many SLPs told us how much they loved this yellow piece of paper (they even used it at the SPA Conference to take notes).

Just ANOTHER reason to take PD with me - Queensland tickets still available 💡

I’ve had comments in the past that I should “look more professional” when I present on Speech Sound Disorders.

Well… I love my bright clothes (dopamine dressing), and I like wearing things that make me feel confident and upbeat so that I can put that into my presenting 😎💃🏻

So I’m wearing my green mini dress today and feeling GOOD!

Are you guilty of this? Thinking that you HAVE TO START in initial position?

Well, I sometimes forget I have options too 😉 but as a “know better, do better SLP,” I happily share these so that other people can learn from my aha moments!

My kids LOVE using these as self-reminders for what sound we’re working on 👏🏼 the elephant trunk and snake are my most used!

Thank goodness for @beetheslp and my fave speech pathology jumper (or “sweater” for my North Americans), because it’s the only thing working for me today 🤣

Also - hard relate to the perimenopause/I don’t care trend, it’s all true!

Do your current mouth cues look like they’re from 2003?

WHY SHOW YOUR STUDENTS MOUTHS THAT DON’T ACTUALLY PORTRAY THE SOUND?

If you want accurate mouths to help cue and teach speech sounds, we at Adventures in Speech Pathology have the ones for you 👏🏼

Make sure you comment “mouth” and get these AMAZING mouth cue images delivered to your inbox 📥 

When I have a student with a frontal or lateral lisp, I like to have all the cues available to highlight what they’re doing now vs. what they NEED to do.

Hope you love them!!

Description

Does your student substitute the “th” sound for “s” and say “thing” for “sing” and know they would benefit from having this pattern explained to them in terms that they understood?

What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech pattern in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of snake out of the cage sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

“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.”

As an SLP who only treats speech sound disorders, I have created the ultimate “research-meets-clinical practice” resource, combining EVERYTHING you need (and didn’t know that you needed) to effectively implement the minimal pairs approach and make progress week-by-week.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
❶ — Have one resource that contains ALL the minimal steps: familiarization, auditory discrimination tasks and practice using minimal pair contrasts
❷ — Be able to “teach the rule” for “s-th” substitution using our highly reviewed stories that “click” for students
❸ — Save planning time by referring to our therapy activity ideas to help teach the concept of “snake out of the cage” sounds
❹ — Have a set of high-quality minimal cards
❺ — Choose between print or digital formats! Our story, familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks give you TWO options!
This was a great addition for the lispers on my caseload!

How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?

FIRST Read the child-friendly “Snake out of the Cage” story and complete the hands-on learning activities so that your student “clicks” with the phonological rule
NEXT By using the print or digital version, complete familiarization and auditory discrimination activities so that your students understand and can hear the difference between the pairs.
THEN Use these “snake out of the cage” concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

DID YOU KNOW that this resource is part of a six-series bundle? You get a discount when you purchase the complete Minimal Pairs Toolkit for Less Common Patterns.

What SLP’s like you are saying:

“I love this resource! The story is sooo child-friendly. It really helps when introducing minimal pairs.”

“The visuals are engaging, clear and easily understood by children. Having minimal pairs to help separate these patterns from a meaning standpoint is incredibly helpful as well.”

“The ‘snake in the cage’ metaphor is useful for clearly explaining the s/th pattern to students. Engaging minimal pair cards to help students with auditory discrimination and production and to understand the different meanings between the word pairs.”

    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!

  6. Shannon D. (verified owner)

    Amazing way to target phonological processes using the minimal pairs approach! Love the stories that these include.

  7. Ellen S. (verified owner)

    My students enjoyed using this resource along with the many other resources i have from this author.

    I really love the word pairs in here and being able to use them as minimal pairs for some of my kids with frontal lisps.
