Question

What do you recommend for home practice for /r/ remediation?

Answer

Keep track of all the different /r/'s that the child can say successfully in therapy.  Write them all down on a list and send home those specific words.  I do not send home any words that they cannot say successfully with me. I find that the more successful they are and the more confidently they can be at home practicing, the fewer battles they have with the parent.

There is a good deal of confusion among audiologists and speech-language pathologists when a diagnosis of “processing disorder” is introduced. This course presents a continuum model to differentiate processing disorders into acoustic, phonemic, or linguistic aspects so that assessment and treatment can become more focused and effective. The roles of audiologists and SLPs in relation to processing disorders are described, and compensatory strategies for differing aspects of processing are presented.
