Facilitative contexts are environments or word structures that help a child produce a challenging sound more accurately.

For example, pairing a difficult /k/ sound with an easier neighboring sound—like in “back” instead of “cat” can support better placement and production.

We offer the Facilitative Contexts for /ɹ/ Therapy bundle with 89 cards targeting seven different facilitative contexts. The Prevocalic and Vocalic /ɹ/ deck and Coarticulation sets also support this method.
