I’ve been working with this kiddo for a long time trying to get any velar sound. It’s taken almost a year to go the ‘k’ sound. Now we’re working on turning the ‘k’ into a ‘g’ and it’s been tricky. Sometimes voicing is extra hard for kids bc it’s such a small change to make. With a lot of trial and error, they did it 🎉 These kind of days feel extra rewarding as an SLP 🥹

Adding a consonant ending to ‘or’ can be especially tricky for some kids. It’s a lot of movement within a word when you’ve just mastered vocalic ‘r’, and it can take a lot of practice to master the motor planning involved. I’ve found holding out the ‘r’ sound slightly before adding the final consonant can help a lot. These mini toys by and were perfect for switching from ‘core’ to ‘corn’.

Here's the link to the staRt app I've been using in my therapy videos lately. This is the web based version, so you can use it during teletherapy or in person. I also recommend using a microphone during in-person sessions, I've linked the one I have below.

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the staRt app lately, so I wanted to show a video that demonstrates how it can be helpful to let a child experiment with tongue position so they see how it changes the waves. Sometimes they stumble across a decent ‘r’ and the biofeedback can help them recognize it was correct 👏🏻 this app is seriously a game changer.

Sometimes explaining the specific differences between sounds (like ‘m’ and ‘b’) helps older kids have a better idea of what changes they need to make to be successful (knowledge of performance type of feedback for the win). Combined with hand cues and chaining, the target word ‘maybe’ sounded a ton better 👏🏻

This is one of my go-to resources for allllll the different goals I work on each week. I’ve had it for years and still use it weekly. If you need more language resources and don’t want to spend a ton of 💰, this is a great starting point.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in speech therapy, the problem might be how you’re practicing. It can be tricky to remember all the components of the principles of motor learning, so I made a cheat sheet to have handy to quickly remind you during sessions.

I like when I find a game where a target word/phrase can occur naturally. It makes it easier to get high repetition practice, and it’s motivating for the child. And anytime we can make therapy more fun AND functional at the same time is a win/win 🙌🏻

Who knew a balloon and fan could be so much fun for kids? They love watching the balloon float up and down, and the language opportunities are endless. Up, down, catch, go, stop, help, my turn, off, on, etc… it’s so fun to see how they choose to play and what words they spontaneously use. 🎈

Vocalic ‘r’ can be tricky for kids who are working on ‘r’. It helps to explain how ‘or’ is ‘oh’ + ‘er’ and to show how the tongue needs to wait before moving into the ‘er’ position for a clear ‘or’.

Also- these minis from and make r therapy so much more fun! 👏🏻

Ok this was a really fun activity for therapy: magnet people holding magnet animals. There are so many fun ways to play. For my kids working on articulation, they got to pick an animal/person after every 5 reps, so a board full was a ton of practice! For my language kids, we used the magnet people to build towers and target prepositions (in, on, under), described the animals, and answered ‘wh’ questions. I love when you find tons of ways to use the same set of toys 👏🏻
