FINALLY….. SLPs are learning about, and incorporating facilitative contexts as a cue to try when they’ve “tried everything”. Because if you haven’t tried facilitative contexts for your /s/ students and you’re STILL STUCK, it might take you a long time unless you expand your toolkit 👏🏼

Check out @adventuresinspeechpathology for all things facilitative contexts 💪🏼

Comment “mouth” for a free set of the only mouth cues you’ll ever use for treating /s/. 

Whether your child has a frontal lisp, lateral /s/, or they’re pushing too much air and disrupting that skinny airstream, showing the child these cues will help 👏🏼 and they’re FREE!

Fun therapy activity (Nerf guns + Articulation cards) but WOW!!! If you’re an SLP who has never heard of or tried facilitative contexts, you just have to add this to your knowledge!

Can you believe how quickly ALL those sounds generalised to ALL positions just by figuring out a starting place for success with a few “ch” words 🤯

P.S. we have you covered for facilitative contexts, just tell us what you need to know!

Comment “shaping” so we can send you the link to purchase the K & G Sound Handbook 🙌🏽

It has saved THOUSANDS of SLPs when they’ve “tried everything” and “nothing works.” We assure you, you have not tried everything if you don’t own this handbook 😉

Who else spotted my @bjoremspeech clicker?

As an SLP who LOVES minimal pairs, this is 100% the best way I’ve found to store them 👏🏼

These rainbow storage boxes are the best!

CUES: From the Minimal Pairs Toolkit

Mini cards… they’ve changed my life 🤗 now to make them for everything!!

We currently have them for cycles and complexity approach, but I’m thinking to do more!! Thoughts? Would you use them?

We have a new Australian citizen in our household!

FUN FACT: my American husband, Paul, and I discussed living 7 years in Australia, then 7 years in the USA… but he fell in love with Australia and now he’s their newest citizen 👏🏼

Congrats babe 😘 I think you proved your citizenship when you were bitten by Australia’s most deadliest spider, but I’m glad you passed the official test!!
Sometimes it’s a PROCESS for helping children say /k/ - I’m reinforcing mouth open, back of the tongue raising here! It’s moving away from saying /t/, but we still have some work to do to get it to be clearer.

Have you ever started with a throaty sound like this and turned it into a clear /k/?

Use this app to collect data in speech therapy

If I asked you to guess what question I get asked the most, what would you say? You might guess it is about my products or treatment approach questions. But you would likely be wrong! The questions I get the most are about the tools I use in therapy and my little tips and tricks I have picked up over the years.

The number one app people ask me about is TxTools by PediaStaff. This free app is my favorite for achieving 100 trials in speech therapy. 

Data Collection in Speech Therapy

It’s more than just an app-based tally counter; it also generates percentage correct data for you. I keep the app on my table to show my students our goal of 50 practices. This interactive approach keeps students engaged and motivated, making our therapy sessions both effective and fun.

TIPS FOR USING THE APP

  1. My younger students love to tap the buttons! If they say a clear target sound they feel very proud to be able to “tap the green button” so that I can count all their clear sounds!
  2. My older students can be very motivated to “see” their percentage and it can really motivate them in session to say their sounds clearly to get a high score.
  3. It’s also my fave app to take a conversational speech sample to determine what percentage of the child’s speech goals are carrying over to conversation. I simply have it on the therapy table or floor and tap each button to get a good sample. This can be helpful for monitoring progress and decision-making regarding discharging.
