This was a good reminder to myself pay attention to how target words actually sound in conversation. It can change the way you practice #.

Fronting can be tricky for some kids. I find tactile cuing can be really helpful, but that isn’t always an option for teletherapy. I like this trick of having them open their mouth before turning on their voice. Slowing down helps them pay attention to where their tongue is at, and an open mouth makes it more noticeable if their tongue tip tries to come up for ‘d’. Win win 🙌🏻

Prompting in apraxia therapy is a continuous flow of increasing or decreasing support to help a child produce accurate trials. Sometimes I realize I need to change how I’m prompting a child a few trials too late. Sometimes I look back at videos and see how I should have faded support sooner or given more support sooner. It can be tricky, but I’m grateful I get to keep learning and trying.

Have you seen this AAC Communication Board by joyreal? It’s been an awesome, easy to use tool for my kids who need support with verbal language. It’s simple to model and personalize, and it’s a great way to introduce AAC to a child. If you want to buy it (it’s on sale!), use my code KIRAHOWARD for 15% off! 🎉

I'm SO proud of this deck! Shelby and I have literally spent years getting it ready. We included a lot of categories that we saw were missing in other vocab products-like accessibility, instructional verbs, and natural disasters. This deck is packed with inclusive cards and amazing illustrations. It truly can be used to target sooo many different goals. It will become a staple in your go-to therapy resources.

Plus, today is launch day! You can go order it right now at bjoremspeech.com. And it's on sale 🎉 go now, don't wait!

I LOVE the complexity approach. The trickle down effect from targeting a complex cluster means a lot of errors are likely to improve without me directly targeting them, which saves a ton of time in therapy. This approach can be difficult, especially initially, but if a child is resilient and open to feedback, they often do really well and their pronunciation improves quickly.

This moment from a session today has me feeling all the feels. This kiddo started out trying to combine a consonant with a vowel. And now today, they combined these two phrases with minimal prompting and CHOSE to try to say them initially all on their own 🥹😭 Speech therapy works. And helping a child speak their mind is the best feeling in the world.

This activity is always a hit. Finding the hidden picture is 100% more fun when you get to use a decoder 🕵️Did you know I have a worksheet for each sound in all positions? Check them out on my website!

Adding variable practice is important for motor-based disorders. It improve the generalization of speech movements. Plus, changing prosody is a fun way to shake up drilling during sessions.

Sometimes getting a good crisp ‘r’ that isn’t held out for too long is a bit of a balancing act. Gestures can be helpful for getting the quicker movement without losing the accuracy.

Kids with apraxia tend to struggle to independently coordinate the movements of the tongue, lips, and jaw, so moving the tongue independently of the jaw/lips to make ‘l’ can be extra hard. Using a mirror, cueing, and giving specific feedback can help a lot.
