This is called the H insertion trick, it can be useful for any sibilant sound (long stretch sounds like F, S, V etc. that are turning into stopped sounds (B, T, D, etc.).

Fun way to teach snow/winter theme vocabulary!

I start every therapy session with my younger students with a song. We sing the same song every day for a week so that the vocabulary has a chance to stick! This one is a fan favorite!

Truly embarrassed to admit how big of a problem this has been for me, but I’m know I’m not alone in this.

There are of course other ways to block apps, this is just what has worked for me (consistently for 45 days).

If you want to try the pro version use this code: “DMS93” for a free 30-day Opal Pro pass.

What is going on with birds articulators systems? Do birds that mimic have different articulators systems than other birds? Can they only mimic certain sounds? I need to know.

Coarticulation is a strategy I use frequently in speech therapy to teach kids how to say the R sound at the end of words. It’s like borrowing the R from another word!

Focus on the things they need and can use today - they have so much time to learn the rest (and it can be to their benefit to wait to introduce academic concepts).

This is a common error in young children, typically caused by a speech pattern called fronting. This can be a very hard sound to teach, but l’ve had this “angry cat sound” work with many of my students!

Using sign language can be a great way to facilitate communication, and for many kids it is their primary mode of communicating.

This is not a diss on sign language or teaching babies to sign, but if it’s not working or not functional it is by no means something you should feel guilty about not using!

Kids can communicate in so many ways! Lean into what is working for your toddler!

It also is never going to hurt to model those signs, so if you want to, by all means do!

This doesn’t even touch on the other variations that exist in different languages 🙃

Another strategy for eliciting the R sound in speech therapy. Sometimes I’ll also ask them to keep their voice on while moving their tongue forward and backward and have them freeze when I hear the right sound 😊

Disclaimer - it usually takes a few more tries get this sound in isolation, and I will continue working at that level for a while before throwing in word level production. Also, if kids throw in a lateral S again at some point, I will remind them that we aren’t working on the S sound, we’re working on “stretchy T.”

It’s more typical to see kids drop the /s/ sound in s-blends, but occasionally I have a student that is dropping the unmarked sound. I’ve used this strategy to support both types of errors!
