Who said you have to work on “r” in initial position FIRST?

By choosing where the child can say a clearer, more accurate “r”, we were able to start therapy successfully and accurately (and those other “r” positions are correcting on their own!!).

Have you ever had more success in “r” clusters?

We usually tell parents of LATE TALKERS to pause, but I encourage parents of children with speech sound delays to pause too!!!

Yes, this child still needed a zebra cue, but often we have to build these steps to foster self-awareness so our kids can fix their speech.

Shoutout to this mum who was better than me at demonstrating many of these 😂 I can’t tell you how LESS SCARY an oral motor exam is when everyone gets involved.

I’m using our @bjoremspeech Oral Motor Assessment cards.

Want some MOTIVATION? Get a dinosaur who ONLY eats “back /k/“ sounds!!! Your preschoolers will be more engaged to fix and clarify whether they meant “tape” or “cape” if they can see the dinosaur eat the card 🦖

As much as possible, I try NOT TO MODEL THE WORD during an assessment so that the child isn’t directly imitating me (which can influence my results).

Are there are other tips you recommend?

Hey, hi, g’day!! I’m Rebecca and I’ve been a speech pathologist for 17 years.

I was thinking recently about “career statements” and what makes me passionate about this job. And put really simply:

I love to work with preschool-aged children to help them be 100% clear and intelligible by the time they start formal schooling.

Do you have a “why” 👇🏼

Prove me wrong!!! Because (unless you read it in our Ch & J Handbook), I bet you have never tried this before to elicit the “ch” sound!!!

Also - tag an SLP who needs to know this 👏🏼

The three things I’m always considering are:

1. Has the child made EVEN MORE progress with their speech, even though they’ve had a break?
2. Has the child lost some of their accuracy from when I last saw them (this is okay - it just means we might have to do more home practice during breaks)
3. With my new information and fresh ears and eyes, should I continue with the same goals and therapy approaches, or do we need to change things up?

Honestly, I think every SLP should consider re-assessing their students after a school term/block of therapy to evaluate goals and intervention 👏🏼 what are your thoughts?

It’s about time that non-rhotic “r” speaking countries had some “r” materials that work with OUR accents 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We’re looking to expand our best-selling Facilitative Contexts packets with a non-rhotic “r” version! Comment “list” so I can send a DM on how to apply.

Connecting and collaborating with SLPs around the world is so important to us (especially as I have studied and worked in 4 countries myself!!!).

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?

    Reply

    • 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 🙂
