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 👏🏼

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 💪🏼

Stories From a Traveling SLP

603498_10152817362655643_2038638877_nMy coming to work abroad in America is your modern-day romance. I was working as an SLP in the South Pacific country of Samoa where I met my American Peace Corp boyfriend who was also working there. We wanted to know whether we had a strong relationship, or was it just the island paradise that we were living on making us feel that way…. so I made the move to the United States of America. With not much choice and the ‘I just need a job’ mentality, I found myself near Seattle, Washington!

  • Hey Rebecca,

    Thanks for this great blog, I loved reading all about your adventures as a traveling SLP. I have a similar (but reverse) story to yours: I am a American-trained SLP who married a Frenchman and is moving to London to be a SLT. Any advice for the reverse transition (going from working in the US to working in the UK)? I have my HPC and RCSLT and am looking at NHS jobs with an adult populations.

  • Hi Rebecca,
    As an SLP in Micronesia I know educational opportunities in this field are limited. How where you able to obtain your degree?

    • In Australia some universities offer a 4 year undergraduate degree in SLP, or a 2 year masters degree. If you have a bachelor in a related field you may be able to just complete the 2 year Masters degree. This may depend on whether your credits/previous degree is internationally recognized, or at least recognized by the university who you apply to. In my degree we had a student from Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Hong Kong study with me. Best of luck.

  • Hi Rebecca,
    I have recently been linked to your blog and it’s amazing!! I love all your resources and creative ideas 🙂

    I am looking into the move from Sydney (Aus) to Seattle. I am currently affiliated with SPA and SAC although before I join ASHA I was wondering if you had any advice regarding certification and visas?

    I look forward to hearing from you
    Kindest

    • Hi Isabella,
      I went through a recruitment agency and they sorted it all out for me and gave me a list of things that I needed to do. I’m not sure what agencies are operating at the moment, but it was much more efficient this way 🙂
