Bjorem Speech® Sound Cues Lateralization Deck

Description

The idea behind these “new sound” cues is to STOP shaping the “old” sound that the child is lateralizing and to start from scratch with a “new” sound.  When a child thinks we’re working on /s/ they often go back to lateralizing (or /sh/ & /ch/ if those are the phonemes they’re lateralizing), even if they’re accurate at the isolation level…. so, Amy Graham has created NEW SOUNDS for /s/, /z/,  /ʃ /, / tʃ /, and /dʒ/ .

The Bjorem Speech® Sound Cues Lateralization Deck is a pioneering tool designed to assist children and adults who struggle with lateral lisps and other lateralization speech patterns. Developed with insights from seasoned speech-language pathologists, this deck employs innovative cognitive reframing techniques to transform how users produce and perceive speech sounds, promoting clearer and more effective communication.
