The Key to Carryover: Change Oral Postures

The Key to Carryover: Change Oral Postures tackles a frustration familiar to many SLPs: a child can produce a target sound correctly in the therapy room, yet the new sound never seems to stick once they leave. Pam Marshalla argues that lasting carryover depends on changing the client's habitual oral postures, not just drilling isolated sounds, and the book lays out a framework for assessing resting tongue, lip, and jaw position and shifting it toward one that supports the new articulation pattern. The approach is grounded in oral-motor principles and pairs naturally with TalkTools oral placement therapy tools and Marshalla's companion title, Carryover Techniques. For clinicians building a full oral-motor foundation, TalkTools CEU courses offer hands-on training in postural assessment and treatment.

  • Explains why drilling sounds in isolation often fails to produce lasting carryover
  • Provides a framework for assessing resting tongue, lip, and jaw posture
  • Offers techniques for shifting oral postures to support new articulation patterns long-term
  • Grounded in oral-motor principles that complement traditional articulation therapy
  • Pairs well with Carryover Techniques for a full generalization program
  • Written by Pam Marshalla, a respected voice in oral-motor and articulation therapy
  • SLPs whose clients show inconsistent carryover despite correct sound production in drills
  • Clinicians integrating oral-motor assessment into articulation and phonological therapy
  • Therapists already using oral placement therapy tools who want a postural framework to guide their use
  • Graduate students and clinical fellows studying the relationship between oral posture and speech sound production
  • Clinicians treating persistent articulation errors linked to low oral muscle tone or atypical resting postures
  • 1 x "The Key to Carryover: Change Oral Postures" book by Pam Marshalla (Paperback)
