Just a reminder that you have options!!!

I used the perception-production approach with a 5 year old who was NOT stimulable for the /l/ sound.

Four sessions later…. I’m hearing that /l/ in conversation, and they’re using it in CLUSTERS!

1️⃣ Don’t be scared of a non-stimulable sound.
2️⃣ Don’t rule out the minimal pairs approach because a child isn’t stimulable
3️⃣ If all of this is confusing or overwhelming, that’s totally normal😩 - it’s also the reason why I put together the Minimal Pairs Handbook!!! To help you feel more confident using this approach.

This Speech Development Chart looks amazing in your room when you print it at poster-size.

Have you got one? Let me know 👇🏻

If you hear yourself saying these things (swipe through), then you’re NOT ALONE!!!!

Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t *really* know how to implement the minimal pairs approach.

1️⃣Just take some action. Take my free 30-minute course on problem solving when your stuck.

2️⃣ Invest in the Minimal Pairs Handbook, and just have the confidence that you WILL be guided from planning, implementation, or o generalization.

NOW is the best time to upskill in minimal pairs 👏👏👏👏

YES!

It’s my 37th birthday today, and can I say that 36 was my hardest year “adulting” to date.

So I’m trying to say YES to more things that will make the next year amazing.

To working less, having more family adventure and holiday time, being the fittest I’ve ever been, being more grateful and generous.

I’ve got some big projects that I can’t wait to launch next year (think more Handbooks and Speech Sound Elicitation guides).

On a personal note, I know it can seem on social media that I know EVERYTHING about treating SSDs, but I really don’t! So THANK YOU for always encouraging me to learn more (and then share what I’ve learned).

I’ve been asked a few times whether I have materials for this pattern, and I do! You can find:

1. Free interactive Boom Card deck
2. Th-f Minimal Pairs Toolkit

S CLUSTER REDUCTION:

I did this yesterday to explain how each sound buddy says a different sound!

The boy in the yellow shirt always says the “s” sound, and so when we have words that have sound buddies at the start, we need to remember to use both sounds!

These visuals are from my Minimal pairs Toolkit - I stick them on the front of the box (which is filled with minimal pair cards) so that I can use them as cues 👏

FYI: these are a free download in my TpT store! I use them to write the specific cues the child needs to say their sounds correctly.

Download, print on coloured paper, cut, and have them somewhere handy (like on your desk) so that you can write those cues down 👏

Did you know that I have handouts to explain phonological patterns and intervention approaches?

While I encourage you to explain this to parents, providing them with something to take home, read, and understand can be really helpful too!

A few years ago I wrote a list of 101 dreams. Big dreams. Like take my family trekking through Nepal kind of dreams.

Yesterday I hit a big milestone in my business, Adventures in Speech Pathology, and my husband surprised the HECK OUT OF ME with a Vespa.

I’ve always wanted a Vespa, it was on my 101 dreams list!!!

Just don’t ask me what happened in Thailand when I hired a scooter… that’s a story I’ll never live down 🛵🤣

Pragmatic feedback is really important when you implement the minimal pairs approach.

I’m sharing one of my favourite pages from the Minimal Pairs Handbook to highlight the different things you can say 👏

(I personally love using non-verbal facial cues to act confused!)

Hi, I'm Rebecca.
I encourage SLPs to feel more confident treating speech sound disorders, and make faster progress with their students.
