What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼 

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech 
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech 
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep 
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

Why am I late with my Bjorem Speech Cruise recaps? Who’s got time to splice these together when you’re laughing, connecting, and gathering 100ish talkative SLPs together?!

Special mention to our keynote speaker, the incredible @phuonglienpalafox, my SLP besties @rocktherspeech, @freetobeme.speech and @mrsspeechiep - and the entire @bjoremspeech team who made this possible.

So excited to to connect and present with all the SLPs on board! Follow my stories for all the behind the scenes!

I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

#adventuresinspeechpathology #speechsounds #speechsounddisorders #speechdelay #articulation
I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

#articulation #speechsounddisorders #speechsounds #speechdelay #schoolslp #adventuresinspeechpathology
If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

17 reviews for Sh Sound Handbook | Comprehensive elicitation guide for SLPs

  1. Montana (verified owner)

    I have always found the /sh/ sound that but more tricky to elicit, especially with my lateral young ones, but this handbook provides so much insight into a variety of ways of teaching and targeting the /sh/ sound. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

  2. Krystle Garza (verified owner)

    This resource is an absolute game-changer for speech therapists and let me tell you why!

    First and foremost, the price point is unbeatable. At ~32 cents a page (I counted about 56 usable/informational pages. At full price, ~45 cents a page), it offers incredible value for the quality and effectiveness it delivers. It’s budget-friendly, making it accessible to a wide range of users who are looking to improve articulation skills in a fun and engaging way. I don’t know about you but I know there are many resources I’ve purchased at almost $1 a page! Plus … what speech sound disorder book has THIS MUCH information?!

    I love the included screener with pictures. The visual cues are incredibly helpful for both the therapist and the child, making it easier to understand and practice the sound correctly.

    What sets this resource apart is the thoughtfully designed checkboxes next to each cue. These checkboxes create a clear and structured path for tracking progress. As the child successfully practices each “sh” sound given the cue, you can easily mark it off to track if the cue worked, if they had some success, or if the cue did not work.

    Another invaluable aspect is the reproducible pages included in this resource. Being able to make multiple copies of the practice materials is a tremendous advantage. It ensures that therapists can continue to reinforce the “sh” sound over time, tailor exercises to individual needs, and use the resource for multiple children on their caseload without the worry of running out of materials.

    This speech therapy resource for the “sh” sound is a must-have for anyone involved in speech therapy. Its budget-friendly price point, the inclusion of visual cues, convenient checkboxes, and reproducible pages make it an outstanding choice. It simplifies the process of working on articulation and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

  3. Charlie Strutt (verified owner)

    I bought this guide in desperation after having tried everything I could think of to elicit a ‘sh’ with one of the children I was working with, it was the last sound he had to work on and he had also had multiple therapists before me all try unsuccessfully. After reading the handbook I had lots of fresh ideas to try and we finally cracked the sound and he has now generalised it! A huuuuge thanks to Rebecca for producing such a comprehensive resource

  4. Krystal Chen (verified owner)

    Mind blown! So much useful information for the speech therapist trying to get the /sh/ production. I want all Rebecca’s handbooks!

  5. Erin White (verified owner)

    This handbook has been incredibly helpful for gaining new ideas and a different perspective on working with /sh/ sound errors. I love how Rebecca has explained all the different types of cueing. I thought I was nearing the end of what I could offer one of my /sh/ sound error clients until I came across this resource. Just when I thought I wouldn’t achieve success with the client …we had a breakthrough! Rebecca’s links to instrumental videos were THE lightbulb moment for this kiddo. I am so appreciative to Rebecca for this resource!

  6. Helene Somerville (verified owner)

    I work almost exclusively with children with repaired cleft palates and this is a sound many find tricky. You can get stuck when your previously tried and tested cues don’t work with a particular child and this resource provides an abundance of alternative strategies to try. Comprehensive instructions and illustrations help to understand how to use each cueing strategy. How did we ever survive without these resources!

  7. Alexandra Graves

    This handbook is well written! It is user-friendly and has some wonderful tips and tricks to use with students. I can’t wait for more of these handbooks!

  8. Jennifer (verified owner)

    I love these handbooks! I have purchased the /k/ & /g/, /l/ and ‘sh’. It is so helpful to have a variety of cues, elicitation techniques and word lists.

    The key word environments lists have been a huge success for children who were not responding to the other cues.

    I recommend purchasing these handbooks. They are well organised and evidenced based (provides a list of references).

  9. Becky (verified owner)

    These handbooks are awesome. This is a must-have resource for when you feel like you’ve used up all your usual tips and tricks to elicit sounds! Rebecca has covered so much, and it is all presented so beautifully. Great quality, as always!

  10. Elizabeth M.

    For an ADHD SLP like me, this resource is everything I have ever dreamed of. It is clear, concise and is laid out in the most beautiful way. I love how Rebecca organizes her types of cues in a user friendly easy to follow manual. It reinforces that not every cue is meant for every kid, and when something doesn’t stick, don’t get in a rut…. move on to another. I am so thankful for her hard work compiling this. I appreciate everything she does for our field.

  11. Stephanie C.

    This handbook is so valuable! It provides so many different cues that I had never thought of before. Easy to navigate and download to your iPad for easier access.

  12. Gianna R.

    These Handbooks should be in the hands of every SLP. How do I wish that I had it sooner? Do you know how much time it saves you when you get all this information summarized and you just have to implement it? You will do trial and error with each student, as always, but you will not need to spend as much time doing the research, just implementing it.

  13. Jill S.

    I love the variety of cues listed here. One cue that may be useful for one students won’t work with another. I love that there are so many options here for those tricky situations.

  14. Tania S.

    As always, another amazing resources. Beautifully set out and clear easy to understand images. A very big timesaver and alternative option to discover the best production of /sh/. I love the screeners and probes. Thank you!

  15. Kim G.

    I purchased this resource knowing how helpful a similar one was for other sounds. Again, Adventures in Speech Pathology did not disappoint! I so wish I would’ve had access to a resource like this as a new clinician! Thank you!

  16. Ashley G.

    I absolutely LOVE this resource. I was having a really difficult time eliciting the SH with my student who lateralizes SH. This resource provided me with many strategies to try and I was able to find a shaping cue as well as a good set of words using facilitative contexts to get her to produce the correct SH sound in only 2 sessions. Highly recommend this resource to anyone working on this sound! After I also purchased the facilitative contexts for SH and it has been so helpful for my student to have the perfect word set to practice. Get this resource. You won’t be disappointed!

  17. Joanna E.

    Having a comprehensive guide to hand just makes life so much easier. You may have the knowledge base but having it in writing with the evidence detailed is essential
