If you use INACCURATE mouth cue visuals, then how can you expect your child to say the sound ACCURATELY?! 🤯🤯🤯

Give your child or student the best chance by showing them pictures that:
1. Look real and are detailed 
2. Highlight voicing and airstream
3. Represent YOUR students mouths

It’s my 40th birthday today 🎈thank you mum for having the girls so I could go on an adventure to my 53rd new country (in Bali, Indonesia).

I’ve loved the floating breakfast trays, rice paddies, spiritual cleanses, temples, monkeys, massages, and especially the beautiful local people here!

What SLPs like you are saying:
Very helpful and a great on-hand reference while in the moment with a child who needed a little more cues.

This is BRILLIANT! I love all of it. The speech sound metaphors visual is so helpful and will help me to not get stuck on the same metaphor for all kids.

This is great to use both in person and virtually. I like all the metaphors to use for speech cues and how I can vary them based on what works best for the kids.
