We have a start-to-finish therapy kit that will give you everything you need to practice this skill in therapy and send home homework. Click the packet below to open it. Then, print it out and place it in the child’s notebook or binder.
Therapy Phases:
- Auditory Discrimination: Student will receptively identify the difference between two minimal pair words where the words sound the same except that one word begins with a voiceless sound and the other word starts with its voiced cognate (example: fan and van) with at least 80% accuracy.
- Production in Single Words: Student will produce single words that begin with voiceless consonants with at least 80% accuracy.
- Production in Phrases: Student will produce voiceless initial consonants in 2-3 word phrases with at least 80% accuracy.
- Production in Sentences: Student will produce voiceless initial consonants in sentences with at least 80% accuracy.
