What SLP’s like you are saying:
“This is an excellent resource to support the complexity approach. I would say my most used set is the ‘thr’ words, my students are working so hard to achieve these and the sounds are filtering into the rest of their speech sound system! Thanks Rebecca 🙂 “
“I am new to this approach, but am learning a lot and have already seen wonderful growth with goals. The pictures and various worksheets attached are motivating for my students. I like the extra information Rebecca puts in with other ideas of how to make activities more than just “table top worksheets”.”
“This product makes it easy to understand the complexity approach. I appreciate how quickly and easily you can evaluate a variety of different sound combinations.”

This resource has made implementing the complexity approach with my caseload so much easier this year! Super helpful reference info to help you understand and implement the approach. The cluster probe has been great in obtaining baseline data for all of the kids. And I love the colour cards as well as the homework sheets. Thanks so much for this great resource!
Krystal Chen –
Another great product by Adventures in Speech Pathology! This handbook gave me the confidence to implement the approach with multiple students who struggle with s, l, and r clusters.

I love this resource. I have learnt so much clinically from Rebecca’s account and have been implementing the complexity approach more with my students. I have seen so much progress and change in their system. This resource makes intervention easy to implement with the cards and activities as well as the reference chart for target selection.

Seriously game changing. This helped me know exactly where and how to start, how to carry it out the way it’s meant to be done, and had enough practice pages for therapy and home when needed.

AMAZING!! I have been working in the schools for 30 years and this resource was wonderful!!! Everything was explained clearly and the materials have been perfect for my littles – they are really starting to ‘get it’ and make big gains in their ability to produce 2 and 3 element clusters – blows my mind!!! Definitely an invaluable resource!! Thank you thank you!!!
Salma S. (verified owner) –
This is such a brilliant and very necessary resource. My knowledge on complexity approach was limited and this really put it all into perspective while being practical and useful! Love it
Logan N. (verified owner) –
The complexity approach has changed my therapy this year–I’m so grateful to Rebecca & sharing these resources to make this approach more straightforward! I reference this resource all the time. I also love the home practice sheets to quickly print off and share with caregivers.
Chelsea S. (verified owner) –
SO comprehensive. I refer to this all the time. Really helpful when learning about the complexity approach.
Natalie P. (verified owner) –
This is a great, well informed introduction to the complexity approach. I now have a greater understanding of this approach and therefore increased confidence in using it. The fact that it comes with resources I can use with my children too is an extra benefit!
Lori R. (verified owner) –
Fantastic resource for complexity approach. Both my students and love it. I like the easy prep and ready to go activities, kids love the fun colorful activities.
Joanne S. (verified owner) –
I love this resource for explaining the complexity approach! I didn’t start using it until this year (I’m a big fan of minimal pairs), but once I started, I can’t stop! It works for SO many students. This seller produces resources for techniques that I’ve heard about, but need step-by-step instructions and supplies (like stimulus cards) to implement. It makes it so easy. I use the stimulus cards at least once a day with one of my groups (I’m in the schools).
Caitlin H. (verified owner) –
This resource is excellent for learning how to implement the complexity approach, as well as many different materials that are easy to print and use.
Carrie F. (verified owner) –
This product has been such a good addition to my complexity resources (which are scarce). It is very informative and has helped to increase my confidence in this area. I really enjoy her products and can see the amount of effort and research she puts into her resources.
Mikaela Fent (verified owner) –
Another AMAZING resource by AISP. Rebecca’s work really helps to summarise therapy approaches and she creates such great and engaging evidence-based resources! The kids and families love it too. Thank you for all you do for the speechie community and our superstar clients!
Hannah F. (verified owner) –
This has been great for working with my kids who just aren’t making progress using traditional articulation or phonological therapy.
Danielle G. (verified owner) –
This is my go to resource when I am planning to utilize the complexity approach. From treatment planning to treatment, this resource helps with it all
Julia H. (verified owner) –
Great resource that broke down step by step how to do the complexity approach. I love this start to finish resource that guides you along the way!
Jacynta C. (verified owner) –
It is a great resource. Very helpful to have words with pictures to target those harder sounds.
Kimberly H. (verified owner) –
To be honest, I have used the text in this resource more than anything else, to educate myself on the complexity approach, and reassure myself that I can do it! I of course appreciate the fabulous graphics, too. Your “manual” resources are simply the best. For someone who has been out of school for so long, I need to revisit the approaches every now and then, and your manuals have led me through it with clarity and support.
Jessica T. (verified owner) –
All of Rebecca’s resources are truly top notch. They make my life as a clinician 1000 x easier and more professional. The components of this resource are complete with the clusters probe and the sonority sequencing which helps me to make sense of it all and help me to feel confident in the targets that I am choosing. I have also purchased the corresponding BOOM Cards as a additional way to deliver the intervention. As an addition, I would love to see a Complexity Approach Handbook as I’ve had a few questions come up while implementing this approach.
Lizzy P. (verified owner) –
Love the assessment probe and then therapy aspect of this resource. High quality with the evidence-based rationale embedded within the resource.
Sarah S. (verified owner) –
This product was just what I was looking for! I appreciate having all of the complex blends in one resource that I can grab and use with a variety of students. I appreciate the variety of activities included, as well as the quick probe. Students have been engaged in materials throughout sessions.
Chelsea L. (verified owner) –
Love everything about this. Not only did it help me understand the complexity approach better, but has allowed me to best support my students. I love the screener that can be used to track progress. My students have been successful and enjoyed all the activities.
Kelsey S. (verified owner) –
I love ALL things Adventures in Speech Pathology! If Rebecca makes it- I’m buying it! Lol this product is SO incredibly helpful! Rebecca provides a wealth of knowledge and research for implementing the complexity approach. Thank you for this amazing resource!
Kimberly O. (verified owner) –
This resource is so well made. I love the time, thought, and research that went into making this resource. The targets were carefully selected and work very well with the complexity approach. I recently took a course on the complexity approach, and these materials compliment the information presented perfectly.
Charlie S. (verified owner) –
I love how easy this resource is to use, it makes complexity theory clinically applicable with all the resources ready for you. I love the checklist and accompanying explanation of sonority so I can choose the clusters which will have the most impact for my clients. I’ve seen fantastic results using the complexity approach and this resource makes it so simple to implement!
Christina S. (verified owner) –
Another well-researched and made resource that’s packed with the essentials! The overview of the complexity approach is clear and easy to understand and the entire resource reduces the overwhelm by breaking it down into digestible steps from rationale, to target selection, to intervention and activities. I love the Consonant Cluster Probe – My client who isn’t usually into to these was keen to engage. The cards for the target words are great as are the home practice sheets and the variety of activities. Thanks Rebecca and AISP team!!
