What is Weak Syllable Deletion (WSD), or also referred to as Unstressed Syllable Deletion or Syllable Reduction, you may ask?

WSD is a phonological pattern process where a child will often remove an unstressed syllable in a multiple syllable word to simplify the word as they learn to talk. This is a very normal part of language development in your child, and something that they will often grow out of as they get older.
This typically happens when a child struggles to pronounce words with more than one syllable, and a portion of those words are dropped, ie: caterpillar = ca-pillar, or similar. They will generally omit the most unstressed syllable in the word during this process.

A few example of WSD are:
🗣️ Banana = nana
🗣️ Computer = puter
🗣️ Basketball = bah-bal
🗣️ Potato = tay-doh
🗣️ Elephant = ephant

There are numerous ways that we can work with your child to help eliminate this process early on, and ultimately help them to overcomet WSD. They will become more confident communicators through useful tools and tricks, and we will also share some helpful tips for improving this at home through fun activities as well.

✨👋🏻 😊 Sensory bins are always a favorite with children. BUT, shaving cream fun seems to always top the charts!
Shaving cream is a simple way to provide sensory play, and allows kids to experience with different texture and smells, and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages {that includes you too, mom & dad}.

Here is what you’ll need:
🔆Shaving Cream {inexpensive brands works best}
🔆A large tub OR non porous surface
🔆Something to mix with in addition to hands {paint brushes, spatulas, spoons, etc}
🔆Loose toys or textured objects {ie: sea shells, dinosaur, two matching objects, etc. for added textures}
🔆Towel & Wet Wipes

Now it’s time for a sensory adventure! Cover the objects with a thick layer of shaving cream. Let your kids explore and try to find all of the objects hidden beneath. Can they find them all? Ask them to describe the objects. Engage them by asking how many more items they think are still left to uncover. Can you find the matching pieces??
This sensory experience helps with visual thinking, experimentation, symbolic thinking, and also helps to develop find motor skills.

We would love to set up a time to help work with you and your children on additional beneficial activities that can assist with these skills as well. Lets connect!
