The Complexity Approach for Speech Therapy

Description

The Complexity Approach is an intervention for children with phonological impairments. It targets later developing and complex clusters (vs. earlier developing sounds) as research has shown that this can facilitate a greater system-wide change.

⭐ It is not the ONLY approach out there, so consider the needs of your caseload.⭐

❶ — Have an evidence-based resource for an intervention that you may not have heard about.
❷ — Understand how to choose targets applying the complexity principles
❸ — Have colorful cards and black & white homework practice sheets containing complex 2 and 3-element clusters
❹ — Use a Consonant Cluster Probe (digital & print included) to help you informally assess a child’s cluster inventory
❺ — Have reference charts for the sonority sequencing principle, implicational universals for target selection, complexity approach therapy steps, and evidence-based rationales

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.❞
