Most children and adults who distort /r/ form the sound with labored, puckered lips and a lowered, relaxed tongue. Why do they do that, and how can an SLP counteract these characteristics and replace the distorted sound with an accurate /r/ that generalizes? In this course, Char Boshart, MA, CCC-SLP, lays out a remediation process that sequences /r/ therapy from capability strategies to carryover.
Char identifies the critical components of the back-up /r/ and the retroflex /r/, analyzes the process behind a distorted /r/, and explains causal factors along with ways to compensate for them in therapy. You'll also learn her /r/ stimulation techniques, the sequence of capability tasks that leads to an accurate /r/, even in tough cases, and the steps for solidifying new /r/ productions and achieving generalization.
