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.
