Backward chaining is one of my favorite ways to work on /s/ blends. Decreasing the complexity of the word helps part of the motor plan become more solid before adding more sound(s). I really love using hand gestures too, a lot of little kids rely on the visual cues to get the sounds together and in the right order. I also find they help for the kids who struggle to watch my mouth movements. #speechsounddisorders #childhoodapraxiaofspeech #pediatricspeech #speechpathology #speechtherapy | Moving
