What SLPs Are Saying

“Every SLP needs this assessment!! There is nothing else like it... now I have a clear starting point for therapy.”

“WOW!!!! This has EVERYTHING about how to help students produce the R sound! It helped 2 students achieve the R sound in isolation and in vocalic R.”

“Working on /r/ has always made me nervous...until now! I absolutely love this resource. It's made my confidence grow at the same time that it's helping my clients make so much progress!”

“As someone who is very intimidated by the "r" students on my middle school caseload, I appreciate how Lindsey was able to break down the components needed to produce an "r" that I can use to explain to my middle schoolers who are so tired of coming to speech.”

““Dislike /r/ and loved this course! Lindsey broke it down in a way that made sense, provided practical ideas I can use "tomorrow" and then resources to dig a little deeper where I want to.”

“This was one of the best, most useful and most instructive CEUs we have had in years. Engaging, relevant, and immediately useful.”

“Lindsey is an expert with the R! I've been an SLP for 5 years, but I had one teenage client who had me stumped. She gave me a handful of great ideas in just a short call!”

"Lindsey is incredibly knowledgeable and so helpful!! I inherited a 12 year old client who had never been able to say their /r/ sound. I decided to book a consult after struggling for months and feeling like a failure. After my consult with Lindsey, I implemented her amazing tips and my client FINALLY got their /r/ after just a few sessions 🤯 "

“Lindsey is an INCREDIBLE resource for all things /r/ and speech therapy. I booked a consultation with her to get support in planning for my /r/ clients and some roadblocks I was encountering as a therapist. She had so many insights and resource suggestions - I walked away with so much confidence and immediately implementable ideas."

Lindsey Hockel, MS, CCC-SLP

My very first client as a Clinical Fellow was (you guessed it) an R kid. I was terrified. It took years of research and trial and error, but somewhere along the way, I got hooked. I also realized how many of us feel that same dread. That’s why I do what I do: helping speech therapists, parents, kids, and adults make real progress on the R sound.
