All you need is a cup, some tongue depressors, and sticky tape to make your speech sound cues something that you can quickly grab + hold faster than a child can say “ch” 😉

I always use my throatscope during an Oral Motor assessment! My kids love it when I turn off the lights and we look inside each other’s mouths.

Hands up if you find it hard to explain phonological patterns to parents and teachers 💁🏻‍♀️

It took me a few years to be able to confidently discuss, explain, and know what I’m talking about - so if this sounds like you, our Phonological Patterns hand outs might help!

Tell me if you have used an abacus in speech therapy… I actually have TWO 🤗

I hope you like and try this idea the next time you implement the minimal pairs approach.

Ooh… I’ll also add using PUPPETS to my recommendations! Do you have any go-to tips to share?

Oral motor assessments can truly be the fun part of your initial evaluation if you have the right tools to engage your kiddies and make something that can be a little scary, more lighthearted 🤗

Have you ever elicited a /k/ or /g/ using a tongue depressor in this way? I’ve got a great alternative that can feel better for the child 👏🏼

Follow us for all your speech elicitation tips.

This is just ONE of over 100 cues we listed in our L Sound Handbook to help elicit the /l/ sound. It’s yummy 😋 and once the child knows “the spot”, you don’t need the Nutella anymore!

🫡 please make sure you have parental permission before you use any spread and check for allergies!

When our go-to cards and tricks don’t work, somehow, these ALWAYS DO! They’re particularly helpful for children who have difficulty with the second sound in the consonant cluster! https://bit.ly/S-Cluster_AISP

They’re one of our best-sellers for a reason 👌🏼

Comment “fronting” to save yourself from another one of those conversations where you can’t quite answer questions about phonological development and patterns!

Our handouts are parent and educator friendly 🫶🏼 we take the questions they want to know and use pictures and easy-to-understand language to help explain patterns like fronting, final consonant deletion and cluster reduction.

Comment “fronting” now for a link to these handouts and FEEL MORE CONFIDENT discussing these terms!

Fun fact about out this box - I found it at my local hardware store!! I actually printed a set of cards and took them in with me to make sure that they fit easily into each drawer 👏🏼

Printing a double set on cardstock to play games is a MUST for every SLP!!

Any questions??

Curious to know if other SLPs even HAVE a picture dictionary in their cupboard?

Rainbow storage boxes (find them at your local craft store) are the perfect way to store our Minimal Pair Toolkits:

1️⃣ Use Velcro to stick the teaching cues on the front
2️⃣ Store minimal pair cards inside

And FYI: we have Minimal Pair Toolkits for x12 phonological patterns and counting! Let’s help kids MAKE SENSE of their patterns on therapy.
