Lateral/Frontal Lisp Playing Cards - Initial /s/ Playing Cards

These game-based activities are perfect for promoting motor learning principles and reinforcing the accurate production of /s/ in initial position in a way that feels engaging — not overwhelming.

Therapeutic Focus

• Phonetic Shaping: Teaches correct /s/ placement using coarticulation from the Bjorem Speech® Lateral/Frontal Lisp Cues & Targets Deck, helping clients build accurate motor patterns from a familiar foundation.
• Cognitive Reframing: Helps clients see the /s/ as a "new sound," replacing the incorrect lateral or frontal production with the corrected target through a fun, reframed lens that reduces frustration and builds confidence.
• Motor Learning Principles: Structured game play naturally creates the repetition and variability needed for true generalization — without feeling like drill.
