Carrie’s Best Tools to Simplify your Life:
You have a lot on your plate. Let me help with that!
I’ve put together my best resources here. Whether you’re streamlining your job as a speech-language professional, helping your child with his communication challenges, or trying to meet the diverse needs of your students, I’ve got you covered.
Choose the resource that you need most right now:
I was just watching your presentation on eliciting /k/ and /g/. I have used what you called the monster sound, as a JET sound. It worked really well with some kids.
That’s great, Wendy!
What would you suggest using for a student who produce the /k/ and /g/ as an /h/. I having the hardest time getting this student to produce this sound. I used a lot of the items on the video, but it really isn’t a fronting issue, so opening the mouth up as wide as he can does not seem to help. Thanks for your help with this.
Hello, Melissa! Thank you so much for reaching out. Unfortunately, we get a ton of questions every day about how to solve specific speech/language problems. Since we have such a small staff, we aren’t able to answer every question that comes through on the website, social media, or via email. If you are a parent, we suggest you reach out to a local speech-language pathologist who can work with your child directly and answer your question.
If you are another speech-language professional, we have created a membership where we pay a full staff to answer questions like this on a regular basis. We would be more than happy to answer your question inside the membership program. We’re able to answer more questions in here because we have a full library of questions that we’ve already answered so our staff can either link you to the answer if it exists, or write you a custom response if needed. We’d love to see you inside the membership!
