What tools and continuing education materials do you recommend for working with children on vocalic r?
Rose
Hi Rose,
The first thing that I would recommend that you purchase would be Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson’s book: Oral Placement Therapy for Speech Clarity and Feeding. On page 20 in the book, she gives you a list of oral placement activities to use to work on vocalic “R”. The activities listed on that page are included in the book. After you look up each activity the book will tell you exactly what you need to order and how to use it.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Liz

Understand the difference between the Consonantal and the Vocal R, and between a Tip R and a Back R. Motivate clients to participate and succeed in R therapy. Material appropriate for clients two years of age and above.
