S & Z Sound Handbook | Comprehensive teaching & elicitation guide | Lateral & Frontal Lisp
$45.00
Looking for a detailed elicitation guide for S & Z that teaches you how to implement cues as well as what cues to try? There are many common errors or distortions we see as SLPs for the /s/ and /z/ sounds and this guide aims to help you elicit a clearer production, no matter where the child is starting from. In this guide you will find problem-solving support, how the S & Z sounds are made, common patterns we see in children, how to accurately produce an S or Z sound, over 100 different cues, assessment probes, keyword lists, and checklists to ensure you feel capable when faced with teaching the S or Z sound.
Designed for all levels of experience, we feel every SLP will learn something new and enjoy using the tools we provide in this guide.
Description
Do you have a child on your caseload who just can’t make a clear /s/ or /z/ sound, no matter what trick you try? Are you struggling to come up with new cues that work because you just weren’t taught this? It can be so frustrating when week after week, you feel stuck in therapy! Instead of repeating the same cues and hoping for a breakthrough, there’s a better solution.
Introducing the S & Z Sounds Handbook: a comprehensive guide featuring over 100 different cues designed to help your child elicit the /s/ and /z/ sounds.
Unlike other elicitation books, this handbook offers a wide range of cues, including verbal instructions, word lists, photographs, and visuals, all tailored to individualize the learning process for your child. We’ve combined this extensive resource with real-life clinical experience to empower you with the confidence to problem-solve and find the right cues that match your child’s specific speech sound challenges.
Does this handbook cover tips for lateral lisps?
Absolutely! Throughout the handbook, we highlight cues that might be more successful for lateral productions. But we also want you to know that many of the “general” /s/ and /z/ tips can support correct productions despite what type of “lisp” it is.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
➊ — Expand your cueing toolbox and discover new tips and tricks to elicit the /s/ and /z/ sounds effectively.
➋ — Access various types of production and elicitation cues, perfect for supporting children with speech sound disorders.
➌ — Personalize cueing strategies based on your child’s individual needs and challenges.
❹ — Utilize assessment materials, including checklists, sound screeners, and probe word lists, to track progress and development.
With these two handbooks at your disposal, you’ll have a comprehensive resource to aid in teaching and eliciting the /s/ and /z/ sounds, featuring a variety of cues and strategies to suit your child’s individual needs and learning style.
CONTENTS:
Included in this detailed digital download are two comprehensive handbooks—one dedicated to the /s/ sound (70 pages) and the other to the /z/ sound (70 pages). The content is organized into seven chapters, which are outlined below for your reference:
✅ — “How to” guide on using cues: This section provides an easy-to-understand overview of various types of cues, stimulability testing, and how to effectively combine cues in speech therapy. It also includes helpful checklists and do’s and don’ts to guide you through the process.
✅ — Making the /s/ & /z/ sounds: Here, we delve into the mechanics of producing the /s/ and /z/ sounds and highlight common errors to be mindful of during therapy. You’ll find a special /s/ and /z/ sound screener and our top five recommended cues to try initially (includes a page for lateral lisps).
✅ — Phonetic Cues: In this chapter, we explore four different types of phonetic cues and demonstrate how to incorporate them to assist children in producing the /s/ and /z/ sounds.
✅ — Metaphor Cues: We provide colorful flashcards to help explain these meaningful, child-friendly explanations to facilitate the learning of the target sound, phonological rule, or feature that the child needs to grasp.
✅ — Gestural Cues: With real photographs, we showcase various gestures and hand movements that you or the child can utilize to facilitate a clearer production of /s/ and /z/ sounds.
✅ — Shaping Cues: Building upon the sounds your child can already say, this chapter outlines how to progress through their strengths to achieve the desired /s/ and /z/ sounds.
✅ — Key Word Environments: This section offers word lists carefully selected to encourage and support the proper production of the /s/ and /z/ sounds in meaningful contexts.

She’s done it again!
As SLPs, we know so many things about so many things, but when my thoughts get swirly and I’m not sure how to best approach a sound systematically with a child (they keep coming up with new ways to produce sounds in error! hah), I got o AISP resources. Another hit 🙂

Incredibly helpful
This Sound Handbook includes an incredible amount of cues (including phonetic, metaphor, gestural, and shaping) for elicitation, plus facilitative contexts. It is definitely a go-to resource for any of my tricky articulation kids. I supervise SLPA interns and SLP graduate students, and always recommend they spend a little time looking through each of my Sound Handbooks before they start working with any of my students because they are so well thought out and they help my practicum students feel a little more confident straight from the get-go. This handbook, along with the others in the series, were clearly created with a ton of research, time, and love.
