These are the Bjorem Speech Sound Cue Cards & the Conrast Cue Cards, they are a great investment to help parents support their children’s early literacy development. Perfect for children from 4-7 years. Children can make words using phonemes (sounds) instead of letters, they can also use these cards to create rhymes. Phonological awareness skills have a strong correlation to emerging literacy success. Check them out on our website today!

PET PEEVE: Please make sure to use evidence based approaches when treating SSD. Let’s all be confident choosing the right approach for that specific child and their diagnosed SSD. Now I will jump off my soap box 🤣

One thing I have actively taken away from the (🙏🏻) is the importance of rather than gathering data during therapy. Here I use a multidimensional scoring method with 0 = incorrect, 1 = close (one mild vowel distortion, one instance of groping, one phoneme off by at least one distinctive feature). 5 stimuli were probed during 5 random trials and then scored accordingly. These scores help me decide when families can start practicing target words at home, and when targets have generalised into spontaneous speech and can be replaced with new targets. Although I’m not promoting cards are still handy to have out 👍

Speak To Me Story

Speak To Me is a private speech-language therapy practice located on the North Shore of Auckland. Speak To Me offers a variety of speech, language, and literacy services for preschoolers, school aged children and adolescents. Although the clinic is located on the North Shore, Speak To Me offers roaming services for the Auckland region. We will endeavour to help your child develop the tools needed for effective communication.

At Speak To Me we love what we do and this is reflected in speech therapy sessions. We want your child to love coming to Speak To Me for speech therapy, as this will ensure maximum progress towards set goals and most importantly child participation in therapy sessions! We make sure our sessions are fun and engaging and our toy cupboards help too!

"From our initial assessment with Rosie right through until our four year old daughters final speech lesson I was so impressed with Rosie and the service she offers. Her gentle and kind nature meant she was able to gain our daughters trust quickly enabling her to focus on the lesson. Rosie always made it fun and interactive. So much so that our three year old daughter always asked when was it her turn to play with Rosie. Our daughter is gaining confidence all the time because her speech has improved so much she can be clearly understood. Rosie was also able to provide us as parents with the skills to continue working on our daughters speech development by ourselves. I have no hesitation in recommending Rosie as a speech therapist and I will certainly be returning to her if I have any concerns regarding my other children's speech development."

"We went to see Gemma with our son who was a couple of months off from starting school. He was having a lot of difficulty making certain sounds, which we attribute to countless ear infections and grommets. We had been to a speech therapist before but had limited progress. This was not the case with Gemma, he came on in leaps and bounds. She has the best approach with children, you can tell that she really likes children and enjoys her job. Our son looked forward to his sessions and had no idea that he was working towards speech goals. He speaks so clearly and beautifully now. Gemma cracked it! We cannot recommend her enough." Referrals for Speak To Me are accepted by parents, caregivers, teachers (with parental consent), general practitioners and specialists.
