In therapy we often use many visual and sensory supports to help children understand how a sound is made. This might include:
• Oral positioning visuals to show where the tongue and lips should go
• Mirror feedback so children can watch their own mouth movements
• Tangible sound cues, like using a 🐍 snake to represent the /s/ sound
These tools help make abstract sounds more concrete because sometimes hearing a sound isn’t enough, children need to see it, feel it, and experience it too. 💜🐻💚
