Event Information

Course Description

Speech Language pathologists face the challenges of eliciting /r/, /l/, /s/,/th/, /f/. Why are these sounds so difficult to articulate for many kiddos? This course reviews each of these sounds from an oral-motor perspectiveand provides clear, proven techniques to readily apply in therapy sessions. Participants will be provided resource materials to add to their OPT toolbox.

Learning Outcomes

Upon course completion, participants will be able to:
1. Identify articulation issues associated with /r/, /l/, /s/, /th/, /f/
2. Apply 3 techniques to correct articulation issues with these sounds
3. Describe carryover strategies to parents and the client's therapy team for long-term success

Very informational

Good examples and videos to demonstrate.

Thank you Renee!

Very helpful information in this presentation. This is one that I want to watch a few more times to make sure I really have these skills down for my students.

This was very helpful.

This course was very beneficial in regards to the more difficult sounds to address in therapy. It will be helpful to look at motor placement and addressing other areas prior to the actual sound.

I appreciate how detailed the information, verbally and on handouts, that Renee is with her instruction!

Very good course, clear information.

Loved the “r” instruction

Thank you

It was a well presented and thorough course.

Loved seeing the demonstration of tools to facilitate sound production.

This was amazing!

Looking forward to putting this training into action.

good refresher course

loved this course super detailed and well explained!

Awesome conference thank you

This was a great course! I learned so many strategies to help my clients with these difficult to teach sounds!

very informative course

Excellent course for understanding foundational movement patterns

Excellent information and presentation

I liked the straightforward nature of this course. It was easy to follow along, and easy to find what I needed to review a second time. I liked that the tools presented in this course can be used immediately! It's always great to have a strategy to use with my clients right away.

very informative PD

Great course

Thank you for providing such indepth information. Talk Tools neveer disappoints.

Thank you for a fantastic course!

This was a great webinar with very useful and practical information.

Super helpful!

This training was extremely helpful. I have listened to it several times already and plan to listen more to fully process/integrate all of the information.

This would've been helpful in grad school.

Great class with helpful, specific directions to improve sound production

Great course. I feel i was missing some slides in the handout (ie, establishing lip position for /r/) and would love to know where I can access Quick Reference sheets for these sounds... super handy! I wish you could record people looking on their phone camera practicing sounds as I was today!
