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!

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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).
