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.

Learning a new sound can be hard! Even though we didn’t practice this sound too much in isolation (I moved onto syllables and words very quickly), I think they were working so hard trying to cue themselves to use the “k” sound, that they kept saying the sound in isolation… then the rest of the word.

Saying it fast helped 👏🏼

The fourth leg of our “Which Phonological Intervention Should I Choose?” tour in Perth was AMAZING!

I was so impressed with the WA speech pathologists!! The kids are lucky to have you all supporting their speech sound development 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Shoutout to the team: Paul and Amanda for getting this event off the ground and looking after everyone so well.

Do you see how we had to use visuals to try to help the child HEAR the difference in the sounds by SEEING the difference?

Have you ever worked on or seen this before?

Have you ever had a child do this?
I find holding up the mouth cues to SHOW the child the sound can really help 👏🏼

Find them in the AISP shop, and start being more effective with your cues!

What are your thoughts about this??

Being a parent to a child with speech sound errors, I am guided by HER and how SHE FEELS about her speech.

I told myself I won’t “make her” come to therapy if she is happy with how she sounds.

Sometimes our students need to “see” what they’re doing with their tongue 👅 and then you can find the right cues that help them with new tongue placement!

Do you relate? Were you told to start an assessment speaking to the parents and getting a case history first?

That doesn’t work for me 🙃

1️⃣ We started with opening the mouth
2️⃣ Accepted a throaty sound and shaped it into a softer sound 
3️⃣ Next we cued the child to say it faster 🤗

Make sure you follow AISP for all our speech elicitation tips!

Has this ever worked for you? Have you elicited a “y” starting with the “ee” vowel?

Who says assessments have to be dry and boring??

The amount of laughter we get imitating these animals as part of our oral motor assessment is soooooo good for rapport building!!

Do you send video clips to parents and carers? I’ve found it can be particularly helpful at the beginning of therapy when the child is still learning about their sounds and we want to reinforce consistent cues that work in our therapy session, in the home environment.

What is fronting in speech therapy?

What is fronting in speech therapy?

The sounds that should be made towards the BACK of the mouth, are instead made at the FRONT of the mouth.

Sounds that can be affected:

  • c/k
  • g
  • sh

How do I know if my child has this pattern?

Because fronting is a pattern, once you know the pattern, it can be pretty easy to clue in to what your child says. Your child will swap or replace:

  • the ‘g’ sound with the ‘d’ sound (go is said as dough, got is dot)
  • the ‘c’ or ‘k’ sound with the ‘t’ sound (car is said as tar, come is tum)
  • the ‘sh’ sound with the ‘s’ sound (she is said as see, shop is sop)

How do speech-language pathologists work on this pattern?

Minimal pairs is a therapy approach that is commonly used to treat fronting. Our activities involve showing your child word pairs containing both the word that they mean to say, and the word that they actually said.

Using the cards, we will ask your child to say each word pair. Sometimes, especially at the start of therapy, your child might look at both cards and say “tea-tea”, instead of “key-tea”. You might hear your therapist say, “Did you mean key or tea?”, while they hold up the card. We are helping your child to understand that they have to make a different sound, or else we don’t understand them, and it doesn’t make sense!

In the shop

Are you looking to educate and inform the families and teachers that you work with about their child’s phonological patterns? These easy-to-understand handouts EXPLAIN the speech patterns that their child is using. Get these handouts.

Do you need a set of bright, meaningful minimal pair cards to use for treating fronting? This set not only includes color and black & white cards, but visuals to help teach the concept that there are front sounds, and back sound. Purchase the Teach Phonology set.

    • Hi Nancy,

      They are located in my TpT store. There are several resources available, I’d suggest searching “Fronting Boom Cards” in my actual TpT store search bar so that you can see what is available for you.
