Product #55002 WELCOME! Bjorem Speech Sound Cues Lateralization incorporates “new sounds” to help children eliminate the old sound and old speech pattern. Read this blog post for tutorials, therapy videos, courses, and more!  The idea behind these "new sound" cues is to STOP shaping the "old" sound that the child is lateralizing and to start from scratch with a "new" sound.  When a child thinks we're working on /s/ they often go back to lateralizing (or /sh/ & /ch/ if those are the phonemes they're lateralizing), even if they're accurate at the isolation level.... so, Amy Graham has created NEW SOUNDS for /s/, /z/,  /ʃ /, / tʃ /, and /dʒ/ . The Bjorem Speech® Sound Cues Lateralization Deck is a pioneering tool designed to assist children and adults who struggle with lateral lisps and other lateralization speech patterns. Developed with insights from seasoned speech-language pathologists, this deck employs innovative cognitive reframing techniques to transform how users produce and perceive speech sounds, promoting clearer and more effective communication. Key Features: - Targeted Speech Intervention: Tailored specifically for individuals who exhibit lateralized speech patterns, impacting the clarity of sibilant sounds such as /s/ and /z/. - Cognitive Reframing Approach: Utilizes cognitive reframing to help users mentally adjust their understanding and execution of sound production, facilitating the correction of lateralized speech. - Comprehensive Toolset: Includes a diverse range of cue cards focused on commonly lateralized sounds, such as /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, and /dʒ/. Each card is equipped with visual and verbal cues. - Engaging and Educational Visuals:Features vivid and engaging illustrations that not only capture the user’s interest but also visually reinforce correct speech production techniques. - Evidence-Based Design: Crafted in collaboration with Amy Graham of Graham Speech Therapy, ensuring that the deck is grounded in the latest research and best practices in speech therapy. -Versatile Usage: Ideal for clinical settings, educational environments, and home use, empowering speech therapists, educators, and family members to effectively support individuals with lateralization issues.

2-Element Clusters for the Complexity Approach Deck 2 Purchase the 2-3 Element Cluster Bundle for a Discount Product #60103 Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2: Navigating Clusters with a Sonority Difference of 4Dive deeper into the intricacies of speech therapy with our Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2. This specialized deck is designed for speech therapists, educators, and parents committed to advancing the phonological skills of children with phonological disorders. It focuses on 2-element cluster targets with a nuanced sonority difference of 4, including 9 target words per cluster, featuring complex targets in the initial word position such as /sw/, /bl/, /gl/, /bɹ/, /dɹ/, and /gɹ/.Elevating Speech Therapy through the Complexity Approach:Based on the foundational work of Gierut (2001), the complexity approach is an evidence-based intervention strategy that has significantly impacted the field of speech therapy. It shifts the traditional focus from sequential, developmental sound error correction to prioritizing the treatment of later-developing, complex sounds and clusters. This approach is proven to facilitate broader and more efficient improvements in children's speech systems.Key Principles Underpinning the Complexity Approach:- Markedness: This principle differentiates sounds into *marked* (complex) and *unmarked* (simple) categories. Focusing therapy on *marked* sound classes helps children not only master these challenging sounds but also enhances their proficiency in producing *unmarked* sounds. This efficient strategy bypasses the need for direct treatment of each sound error, promoting faster overall speech development.- Sonority Difference: This approach involves analyzing and assigning numerical values to the sonority (relative loudness) of sounds within 2-element clusters, facilitating the calculation of sonority differences. For instance, the sonority gap in clusters like /sl/ is less significant than in more complex clusters such as /pɹ/, guiding the selection of targets for therapeutic intervention.About Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2:Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2 is a thoughtfully curated resource that supports the practical application of these principles. Each card in the deck is designed to challenge and engage children with phonological disorders through focused work on clusters with a sonority difference of 4.
