'It's just /s/' or 'it's just /r/', I used to wave these off as just speech sound kids…no connection to reading other pronouncing the words wrong. I didn’t know then but I do now, this is not where we should be stopping. ⁣-⁣The impact of speech sound disorders can run much deeper than what we hear when a child is talking. Phonological awareness can be impacted which spills into literacy issues and basically all of academics 😳⁣-⁣Using literacy-based therapy to help students identify words with speech sounds not only exposes them to concepts of print, it shows real world application of sound and provides a visual for you to use for some phonological exercises 💪⁣-⁣If you’re thinking 💭, ‘Where do I start?!’, you’re not definitely not alone. When I created Level Up with Literacy Based Therapy, I made sure show how you can use literacy based therapy start to finish! -The doors open on June 2, so make sure you’re on the list to be the first to hear all the deatails and get the inside scoop on literacy-based webinars! 💻 -Click the link to sign up: bit.ly/levelupspeech-#thespeechbubbleslp #schoolslp #slplife #speechlife #speechtherapy #elementaryslp #slpsoninstagram #slpeeps #slp2b #slpslovelit ...

  • I was introducing SuperFlex (by Social Thinking) to some new students. One student was having a really tough time understanding how his brain could be ‘flexible’.  I explained how his not his brain, but his thinking, needed to be flexible. Again, I was met with, “How can my thinking be flexible?”  I could see I needed to think outside of the box for this one.
