SPEECH SOUNDS

Choose your approach by clicking on a box:

DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH

Based on evidence about the average age children learn to pronounce English consonants correctly, and the sequence in which they do it.

CYCLES APPROACH

Based on principles of developmental phonology and designed for children with highly unintelligible speech. Focuses on patterns of speech sound problems, rather than individual sounds, and aims to promote system wide change.

Complexity Approach
COMPLEXITY APPROACH

For children with moderate and severe speech sound disorders. Prioritising speech sound targets that are late-acquired and complex to produce system-wide changes as quickly as possible.

Contrastive Approach
CONTRASTIVE APPROACH

Minimal and near-minimal pairs to help clients to discriminate and produce different speech sounds.

Articulation
ARTICULATION RESOURCES

Programs to eliminate lisps and to help with /r/ based on traditional articulation therapy principles and principles of motor learning.

Principles of Motor Learning
PRINCIPLES OF MOTOR LEARNING APPROACH

Advanced, discourse-level speech work-outs for older, literate clients based on principles or motor learning. Includes resources that focus on speech movements (e.g. alveolar-velar tongue movements), rather than sounds (e.g. /s/ or /k/).
