Introducing the Facilitative Contexts for /ɹ/ Therapy Deck (Product Number 60085)—a meticulously crafted tool designed to enhance the effectiveness of /ɹ/ therapy sessions.
Developed by experts Dr. Kelly Farquharson and Dr. Carol Koch, this set focuses on the use of facilitative contexts, which are specific word structures that support the correct pronunciation of the challenging /ɹ/.
The Facilitative Contexts for /ɹ/ Therapy Deck is not only a tool for therapy but also an educational resource, providing clinicians with a systematic method to identify which contexts best support accurate /ɹ/ production.
Additionally, it includes items to assess the influence of dialect on /ɹ/ production, making it an invaluable asset for diverse linguistic environments.
With this deck, speech-language pathologists can streamline their therapy sessions, ensuring each targeted word maximizes the opportunity for correct pronunciation practice.
This set promises to be an essential addition to your speech therapy materials, facilitating significant progress in your clients' articulation skills.
Each card in this set measures 2.56" x 2.56" and is made with a thick, soft matte texture, ensuring no glare and making them ideal for children with vision impairments.
The deck includes 89 cards encompassing a comprehensive total of 149 targets.
These targets are thoughtfully organized into seven distinct facilitative contexts: high front vowels, low front vowels, alveolars, high back vowels, low back vowels, velars, and liquids.
This organization supports a variety of tongue postures necessary for the correct production of /ɹ/, allowing for targeted and effective speech therapy.
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 10 reviews.

I really appreciate all therapy materials purchased from you so far. They are well illustrated, well organized, and well explained. If there was any request to be had, it would be to have materials appropriate for older children/teens. Thanks for your dedication! Michelle

I love this deck! I've been using it with all of my R kids and can attest that it is SOOO helpful. It's helping my kids really achieve an accurate /r/ production and now I'm able to transfer that great R to the vocalic position. Love this deck and would highly recommend!

Store owner replied: That is great, Miranda!
Great idea! why did it take us so long to figure this out??!! Having contexts where the student is able to be successful "primes the pump" for success in other contexts - and give us insight into what might be causing the distortion in the first place - tongue placement, lip posture, motor sequencing, etc. Brilliant!
