R Sound Elicitation
1 hour & 2 hour versions
Abstract It’s no secret that the R sound can be intimidating to treat. All too often SLPs and students find themselves stuck at the elicitation level, never quite achieving a true R sound. In this presentation, Lindsey dives into a multitude of multi-sensory strategies that can be used to elicit R. Included in the discussion are pointers on determining how and when to use certain cues, as well as therapy video demonstrations.
Learning Objectives
Participants will learn to individualize appropriate cue choice based on client age and needs.
Participants will be able to list at least five R elicitation strategies.
Participants will learn at least one new technique they can implement in their next R therapy session.
“I just absolutely love Lindsey’s genuine energy. She makes targeting /r/ look possible when it can be very daunting. I appreciate the amount of time and effort she has put into teaching others.”
