Drills do not have to be boring!
The Articulation Series encourages practice of speech sounds by making the practice interesting. Listening to the word in isolation, the sounds of the word, the word in a phrase, and in a sentence allows practice at appropriate levels of complexity. Photographs appeal to children with developmental articulation disorders and to adults who are working on verbal expression. Flexible menus in the Articulation Series let you work on just the sounds you need. All of the programs allow the user to choose the day's target. The Articulation Series is an excellent choice for therapy in Oral Apraxia, Dysarthria, and Developmental Speech Disorders.
Your most comprehensive resource for single phonemes and consonant clusters
On Articulation I each target phoneme has 20 words in each of the initial, medial, and final positions. Articulation II allows you to choose your own sets of categories and save them for later use.
Articulation I: Consonant Phonemes
The 1,320 words are grouped by phoneme pairs into eleven categories. Disc 1 covers sounds that are often problematic for ages 4-7: p/b, t/d, k/g, f/v, th/th, sh/zh, ch/j, and m/n. Children with articulation problems love the colorful photos. Adults with aphasia or anomia appreciate the uncluttered direct therapy approach. Disc 2 has the sounds that are often problematic for ages 6-10: th/th, s/z, sh/zh, l, and r. Because both l and r are commonly misarticulated, there are twice as many words in these two categories. Both discs can be used with adults with aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, or anomia. Perfect for individual and small group therapy.
Articulation II: Consonant Clusters
This CD provides pictures of words that have a consonant combination in the initial, medial, or final position. There are 766 words covering the phonemes l, r, s, t, d, and more. Interesting sentences add vocabulary practice while you whittle away at articulation errors.
