Manage episode 359137818 series 3461496
Getting on the same page as parents when it comes to articulation therapy is challenging, and this is especially true when it comes to complicated sounds like R. As much as we want to educate parents, who has time to thoroughly explain co-articulation and motor requirements, let alone diving into secondary issues like phonemic awareness?
Concepts that are elementary to us can be hard for others to grasp in the short time we have to offer explanations.
That’s why you’ll find Making R Elementary, Dr. Watson valuable. I break R therapy down into these four easy, relatable concepts:
• Why R is complex
• Effects of co-articulation
• Secondary issues such as phonemic awareness, coping mechanisms
• Celebrating the small wins
Take advantage of these explanations to help you get on the same page with parents.
