Hi! I’m Rebecca Reinking, an Australian Speech-Language Pathologist who has a special interest in speech sound disorders (SSD). I publish evidence-based therapy materials to help YOU feel more confident treating SSDs!
Love this, easy to implement (if you don't have that particular magnet wand, make your own with a craft magnet). And bonus: because it's the therapist using the wand, this can easily be ported to a teletherapy session via doc cam. Thanks Rebecca!
I have a question, if choose the words which are easy to say, how would they learn to say the one that are harder( for example Walk and Lock). Do we move to the complex word after mastering the easier one? And what are the techniques to work on that sound? I am studying speech therapy and have a test this week. Please let me know🥲
You will definitely introduce more complex and harder words to say later - your initial goal for the first few sessions might just be for the child to experience high success and accuracy before we challenge them! I'd suggest looking into the Principles of Motor Learning for a framework :)
I've just subscribed you! You will be my go-to RU-vid speechie!! :) Your voice is so soothing and you articulate so well, easy to understand. Thank you !!
This is super helpful! I plan to use this tip with one of my students, thank you. I’m curious. How would you elicit or teach it to someone who has a lateral lisp?
Yay! We are glad you enjoyed the tip (: That is a great question. Check out our RU-vid playlist that has a bunch of videos on how to elicit different speech sounds. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/group/PLAuvNJDSFeFSw-5O0P1dtkLNpMvb6ypkh&si=F58KUPiESBx1iJfz Also, depending on what sound you are trying to teach, we have speech sound handbooks for sale on our website and on TpT. The handbooks have over 100 cues for teaching different sounds and include tips for when a student is making their sound(s) lateral. Here is the link to our sound handbooks: adventuresinspeechpathology.com/product-category/handbooks/ -AISP Team
Hi just wondering if you have a word list which you use alongside the practise chart or is the child repeating the words after you? Also for the first activity using the dice to show how many practises are using the same word for each practice or a different one each time? Thank you so much
Hi! Thanks for watching our video. In this video, Rebecca talks about using stretchy toys to teach sounds and phonological patterns. Are you maybe referring to a different video where she used dice? If so, please leave a comment on the video you were referring to and we would be happy to answer your questions the best we can (: In general, the number of practice trials per word would depend on each individual student and where they are at in therapy. For example, if your student is doing blocked practice then we would do the same word multiple times. However, if your student is doing random practice then we would do a different word each time. Thanks again for checking out our channel! -AISP Team
Thanks for watching! We don't have any videos on apraxia. However, check out Bjorem Speech or Bondar Speech Apraxia on Instagram. They both share tips and videos on apraxia of speech (: -AISP Team
My daughter is soon to have a diagnosis for autism. We find out from a doctor on the 29th. She is very bright. She understands how to do puzzles, she follows commands but she struggles with leaving places and she has only a few words. Mommy, daddy, dink (drink), ba(ball), bo(boat), byez. I try to teach her words and I think she sorta understands me but other times it’s like she is not interested in paying attention to me. She acts like show knows what I’m doing and she’s not falling for it so she acts sort of annoyed that I’m pushing her. Sometimes she will try but not often. Her speech therapist are just playing with her. Though don’t try hand cues but I think I got her to actually start saying the word mommy instead of mama by showing her long E hand cue. Thumb and index next to corners of the mouth to empathize the E sound. How do I get her attention more? She is very attentive to playing but she’s not interested it seems in sitting down and watching and trying. Your daughter in the fishing activity video was actively trying. Is it just more practice and more treats? Is there a certain sound she should work on. She mostly has B sound, and a few random sounds. She likes playing pretend and singing her own song soo I don’t know how I can work on helping her other then watching random RU-vid speech videos and her speech therapist. I think I’ve learned a lot from the videos and she’s learned some but I want more things to help her. I could ask my speech therapist but I don’t see them using these other techniques so I don’t know how much they are helping. Any advice? Thanks for the videos. I’ve been watching and debating on what things I could buy off your tpt website to work on with my daughter who is 3. Thinking I will just get the animal paper sticks to practice in animal games. Excited that I found your channel bc it is helpful to find more knowledge on speech therapy.
We are so glad that you found our RU-vid channel and are happy that you are enjoying our videos! Unfortunately, we cannot provide personalized recommendations. That is great that you are already working with a speech-language pathologist. We would recommend that you collaborate with your SLP for more specific information regarding your daughter. Keep a lookout for more videos on our channel coming soon (:
Thank you for being consistently generous with your wonderful ideas. Like you, I campaign for more therapy and less prep. Thanks for getting the creative juices flowing. This might take a little more prep but I'm thinking play doh cupcakes and cookies: silicone cupcake cup or muffin tin, rolling pin, cookie cutter, beads/sequins, candles. Keep the good stuff coming!
If you do find it somewhere, feel free to share it with us (: Some of the products used in videos come from the dollar spot at Target or other types of dollar stores that don't have direct links. We will always do our best to try to share links as we find them though! -AISP Team
My favorite idea you've shared is the game where you roll marbles across the table and students catch them in a cup. My kids LOVE doing that! The amount of practice I get per child in a group is huge!
Yay! We are so glad that you have found some good ideas in our videos! We love making therapy fun while getting in high practice trials at the same time (: -AISP Team
Love those minis! Kids will say a million sounds/word trials with Foot prints, leaves, etc- great idea with the stamps! Kids need tactile/kinetic input as well as aud/visual. I agree the teeny tiny balls are time consuming unless you do one for every ten words,etc. but I prefer quick trials as well
Hi Rebecca, Where can I find this cool Giraffe finger puppet? I looked at amazon, but cannot find it... would appreciate it a lot if you could send me the link, thanks in advance!
Hi! Thanks for watching our video (: Unfortunately, we could not find a link to the giraffe finger puppet either. However, we did find some fun tentacle finger puppets that could work just as well! Here is the link: amzn.to/4cF6Nbd -AISP Team
Hi, i am SLP in Türkiye. I was researching the minimal pair approach and I am watching this video. I really liked your explanation. A very explanatory video for families too. Loves from Türkiye ❤
We are glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! If you ever need a more in-depth explanation, we have a Minimal Pairs Handbook that can help you plan, implement, and track progress using the minimal pairs approach. Check it out here: bit.ly/MinimalPairsHandbook_AISP -AISP Team
You're welcome! There are some programs (like Adobe) where you can actually "draw" on a PDF document. If you have a document camera connected to your computer, you could also have these printed and mark them off for your student using a paint dabber. There are lots of great options! Let us know if you come up with any other ways to use these for telehealth (: -AISP Team
Thats such a great technique! My son is so frustrated and refuses to learn the S sound.. he does not try at all saying it is so hard for him. Last week he wasted two speech therapy sessions refusing to cooperate with his therapist.. I will try those cues and I will let you know how it worked out! Thank you
We love using metaphors for teaching speech sounds! It's just one of several different types of cues we try to elicit the S sound. We also have an S&Z Sound Handbook that has 100+ elicitation cues. Check it out here: bit.ly/S-ZSound_AISP -AISP Team
Well you have definitely found the right spot! (: We have a whole playlist titled, "Fun Activities for Getting High Practice Trials." Check it out here: ru-vid.com/group/PLAuvNJDSFeFTIpqh7Euukea_44zxU-Bou -AISP Team
Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for making these videos. I'm working with a few children who are fronting and having this elicitation strategy broken down is so helpful.
You're welcome! We love sharing free content to help SLPs feel more confident treating speech sound disorders! If you need anymore elicitation cues just checkout our K&G Sound Handbook here: bit.ly/K-GSound_AISP -AISP Team

Hi! Thanks for stopping by our RU-vid channel. We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain while speaking. Unfortunately, we cannot provide personalized recommendations. You might seek out professional guidance from a licensed speech-language pathologist if you would like more information. Here is a link to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association website where you can find SLPs near you: find.asha.org/pro/#sort=relevancy&f:@provider=[Speech-Language%20Pathologist] -AISP Team
I'm glad you found this helpful! We usually pick both stimulable and non-stimulable sounds. However, target selection really varies for each specific child. We have a blog post that gives some more information about multiple oppositions and has links to free resources! Check it out here: bit.ly/FreeMultipleOpps_BLOG -AISP Team
Can I ask, do you bring the child's attention to the sound and refer to it as the 's' sound or use cognitive reframing and give it a 'new name'? The child I'm working it can get his closest approximation from final -ks. Do I try to use coarticulation to then get it into initial position (e.g. we did "mix....stop" and he got it in WIP)? He's getting it correct each time in -ks in WFP but I'm just not sure where to go from here? Thanks so much!!
Hi! That's great that you have found a facilitative context that works for your child! Unfortunately, it is difficult to provide individualized support when we haven't seen or worked with the child, or had a 1:1 supervision session with you to delve into this. However, Rebecca does an open-ended question box through her Instagram stories on Fridays and she may answer general therapy questions. Another option could be to try posting to a Facebook group like this one: facebook.com/groups/E3BPforSSD/ Thanks for watching our video! -AISP Team
Thanks! My kids really enjoy this activity. We have lots of other fun therapy activity ideas in our other videos on our RU-vid channel. Check them out (: -AISP Team
I always do it by putting the knot in between the bottom front teeth. I'm so surprised! I'm talking about another language but thought that'd be the same with English <wow>
It is very surprising how we can use something as simple as dental floss to elicit a sound! That's great that you've tried this before! We have another video that shows how to use mouth cue cards to elicit the 's' sound. The cue cards are free! Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HUzkIlSCZzI.html Free 's' mouth cues: bit.ly/S_MouthCues -AISP Team
Can your video sound be improved. It sounds to echo and I turn up the volume and still can't hear you clearly. This happens to all your videos. I think you're great!
We're sorry to hear that you are having a hard time hearing the videos clearly. We recently switched the device used to record the videos as well as the video editing program we are using so hopefully that will make a difference. However, for past videos that may be difficult for you to hear, you can turn on the subtitles/closed captions. This is the CC button located on the bar at the bottom of the video. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks! -AISP Team
You're welcome! Facilitative contexts have been a game changer for us and so many other SLPs! We love starting therapy off with success for our kids (: -AISP Team

As always, great therapy ideas! Your ideas are fresh and new but most of all functional and FUN! Thank so much for sharing. Ordering some poppers now for the new school year;-)
We are glad you enjoyed this fun therapy idea!

So do we! The minimal pairs therapy approach is one of our favorites. We have videos on our youtube channel to teach a variety of cues for minimal pairs therapy that address stopping, fronting/backing, voicing, gliding, "s" cluster reduction, and final consonant deletion. Find the link here: www.youtube.com/@AdventuresinSpeechPathology/videos -AISP Team
I never really knew of a good way to use poppers. I haven't bought any because I didn't see too much of a use for them. Thank you for sharing a way to make them a little more functional! :)
You're welcome! We love using toys in a functional way during speech therapy to keep things fun and engaging for the kids!
