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.

Our sponsors delivered on the goodies bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @speakingofsamantics @meaviatoys @daileyeducationalservices

Whooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 made it on board and officially checked in for the 2025 Bjorem Speech Cruise @bjoremspeech 

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

#bjoremspeech #adventuresinspeechpathology #speechpathologist #speechpathology
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.

I could keep coming up with more mini ideas… should I make a round two version?

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!

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.

Description

Have you experienced roadblocks with voicing and devoicing and are looking for the most comprehensive minimal pairs resource to help your students progress in therapy?

As an SLP who only treats speech sound disorders, I have created the ultimate “research-meets-clinical practice” resource, combining EVERYTHING you need (and didn’t know that you needed) to effectively implement the minimal pairs approach and make progress week-by-week.

“I have always struggled teaching the concept of voicing and devoicing with young children. This resource made it easy. The first time I used it, I saw progress! Thank you!”

What makes this therapy resource unlike any other is the phonological pattern stories, which explain the student’s pattern in a child-friendly manner that makes sense and “clicks” for them (e.g., “quiet sounds” and “noisy sounds”).

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
❶ — Have one resource that contains ALL the minimal steps: familiarization, auditory discrimination tasks and practice using minimal pair contrasts
❷ — Be able to “teach the rule” about gliding using our highly reviewed stories that “click” for students
❸ — Save planning time by referring to our therapy activity ideas to help teach the concept of “quiet” and “noisy” sounds
❹ — Have a set of high-quality minimal cards
❺ — Choose between print or digital formats! Our story, familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks give you TWO options!

“Using this minimal pairs toolkit was a game changer! My student was engaged, and was able to learn and have success quickly with this resource.”

How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?

FIRST Read the child-friendly “My Voicing Story” and complete the hands-on learning activities so that your student “clicks” with the phonological rule
NEXT By using the print or digital version, complete familiarization and auditory discrimination activities so that your students understand and can hear the difference between the pairs.
THEN Use these Quiet and Noisy Sound concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

  1. Merissa S (verified owner)

    Adventures in Speech Pathology does it again! I use this resource almost daily in treatment; it has been a go-to via teletherapy. The story is a great way to break down the concept of voicing/devoicing and the Boom Cards make practicing phonology engaging for the littles. Thank you for creating such wonderful resources! Thank you thank you!

  2. Emily B. (verified owner)

    I absolutely love these resources! I use them almost everyday. It’s so handy to have such a great grab and go resource when working on phonology with children. The stories and pictures are all clear and engaging. I have found the stories so beneficial and they have great ‘reminders’ to use with the parents too. After going through the story with children we refer to it in future sessions as a prompt/reminder. The minimal pairs cards are brilliant. I could not recommend this resource more!!! Thank you for yet another amazing resource!!

  3. Jennifer V. (verified owner)

    Using this minimal pairs toolkit was a game changer! My student was engaged, and was able to learn and have success quickly with this resource.

  4. Sarah P. (verified owner)

    I have had so much difficulty with voicing for one of my clients. No matter the cueing and elicitation strategies, and with this resource in my past session we got a voiceless production!! I found the My Voicing Story was such a hit! I wish I would have bought this sooner.

  5. Krissy G. (verified owner)

    The story that goes with it- just so helpful with great great visuals to help teach the concept. Voicing is a hard concept and the students get it with this material. It is engaging and easy to understand for my clients. I see lots of success after teaching this with the clients.

  6. Michaela B. (verified owner)

    This is such a great tool for teaching kids the difference between voiced and voiceless sounds. I’ve been using this with my clients for a few months and really love how it’s laid out!
