We have tips, tips, and more tips!!!! If this cue doesn’t work to encourage a clear “ch”, don’t forget we wrote the Ch Sound Handbook where you can find 100+ more ideas 💡

All it takes is 5-10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts (words that encourage a clear production of our target sound), but this can set you up for INSTANT success!

If you took my free SLP Summit talk, then you saw these screeners in action! Why waster weeks and months with no progress when it doesn’t have to be that way?

We’ve bundled and discounted our THERAPY CHANGING facilitative contexts packets to get faster progress in articulation therapy 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

If you watched by free SLP Summit presentation, then you’d know how quickly the students in my case studied progressed when we found words that encouraged clear sounds!!

Comment “master” so that I can send you a link to register for our first online course!

Apart from the four PDH you get, just know that you will NEVER have to take another PD on minimal pairs again 👏🏼

Don’t let the term “facilitative contexts” overwhelm you.

They’re just carefully chosen words 👏🏼 we have seen the most AMAZING progress with our articulation students last year when we took 10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts.

It’s so relieving to “skip the isolation phase” and start therapy with a set of WORDS the child can say CLEARLY!

You KNOW you could do better! You KNOW you still have lots of questions! So why not MASTER the Minimal Pairs Approach once and for all?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to go on autopilot because you just understand and know what to do with minimal pairs therapy?

COMMENT “master” now so you can register and for early bird pricing. We kick off on February 10th, mark those calendars 🗓️

You never know what’s going to 💫click💫 when it comes to eliciting speech sounds.

At least our Speech Sound Handbooks GIVE YOU all those cues, tips and tricks to try 👌🏼

Stuck teaching clusters? Try chaining! It’s visual and breaks down a complex word into smaller, easier to say chunks for the child 🙌🏽

2025 is shaping up to be a BIG YEAR for professional development 👏🏼

So far our calendar is booked for: Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Townsville, and Canberra!

If you want to learn (differently) make sure you head your our events page to get your ticket.

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!

Have you ever tried this for your students?

We teach clusters a LOT, and forward and backward chaining can be so helpful 💪🏼

Teach Speech With Finger Puppets

On one of my many ‘journeys’ through Ikea, I stumbled across these finger puppets and have been putting them to good use in therapy, particularly for my speech kids. If you don’t have an Ikea near you, keep an eye out at craft shops and small-town shops for the knitted or crochet kind and choose animals or characters that can help you represent terms for therapy.

TIGER = R SOUND

I love to talk about using a ‘growly’ sound for making ‘r’  and this tiger puppet is fantastic! Sometimes I hide him and he will come out and make funny growl at the kids when they use their ‘r’ sound. So simple. So motivating.

ELEPHANT = L SOUND

I love the trunk on this elephant and so when I am teaching the ‘l’ sound I ask my kids to lift their tongue up like the elephant. It’s a really great visual and has worked wonders for me!

TURTLfp1E + RABBIT = SPEECH RATE

We all have had those kids that speak sooooo fast that their speech sounds just go everywhere. These two puppets are fantastic for working on slowing down speech for increased clarity as most kids know the tortoise and the hare analogy. I have also taught the opposite with some of my CAS kids, children who ‘overthink’ what to do, and students who break up sounds in their speech (c-ar).

RAT = F & V SOUND

Usually I would pull out my rabbit to work on these and have found some kids benefit from the term ‘show me your rabbit teeth’, but this finger puppet rat has two lovely chompers that I have had to change my phrase when I use these. Like the elephant with the ‘l’ sound, this is a great visual reference.
