Then get TONS of trials!

If you need more tips like this to remediate the R sound in any word position, take my “Let’s Get Real: Practical Tips for R Remediation” online course.

Type “ME” in the comments and I’ll send you the link to my R Resources page where you can find my course AND a link to the “R Coarticulation” deck, authored by , featured here. (Not an affiliate or ad… I just love this resource!)

So why don’t I ever work on “S” when there’s a lateral lisp? Because it’s so much easier to teach a “new” sound rather than explain to how to “fix” or “tweak” a sound they’ve habituated in error.

That’s why my Lateral Lisp Deck from by has an ❌ thru the 🐍… because I’m NOT trying to correct their “snake sound” (AKA: lateral S), I’m teaching them a new sound altogether… the “flat tire” sound (AKA: non-lateralized S). 🛞💨

I’ve used this method with 3-year-olds through adults with tons of success… including several family members 😅.

If you have any lateral lispers that you’re struggling with, you NEED this course!

The next time someone says phonological errors don’t exist… just ask them what specific *approach to intervention* they would recommend for those kids on your caseload who present with errors that perceptually present as predictable and consistent sound substitutions. 🦗🦗🦗

Backing is a challenging, atypical phonological error. What has given you success with kids who struggle with this?

If you want to make more efficient progress with kids who have phonological impairments… PLEASE consider the complexity approach!

Targeting just one or two complex clusters can trigger emergence of so many sounds spontaneously so that you don’t have to target each one yourself.

if you need help figuring out which complex clusters to target, type “𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙆 “in the comments and I’ll send you more information about my one hour course:

Why do I bother looking at SLP Facebook groups. 🤦‍♀️ Could a tongue tie be contributing to sound errors? Maybe. But when it’s the FIRST thing we jump to when a colleague asks for elicitation tips… we might be skipping some really important steps. There’s so much to explore before we land on structural causes… motor patterns, multi-sensory cues, differentiating SSD subtype, stimulability, biofeedback, facilitative contexts, cognitive reframing … the list goes on. 🗣️

If you need more strategies OTHER than telling families to have a tongue tie released 🙄, type “𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞” in my comments and I’ll send you more info about my 2-hour course:

1️⃣ Elevation of the front half of the tongue
2️⃣ Posterior movement of the tongue root
3️⃣ Lowering of the tongue body
4️⃣ Lateral bracing of the sides of the tongue to the upper molars/gums
5️⃣ Slight lip rounding

Then DON’T say anything about “R”… just turn on your voice.
