Speech & language resources for teachers, speech therapists & parents

A great article by Michael Rosen. 'As a new school year begins, it’s time for a rethink' 'It’s about time the arts had a guaranteed place in schools and the way they enhance students’ lives was properly recognised.'

At the start of a new term, it’s time for a rethink, says Michael Rosen, a former Children’s Laureate

This month's edition of the Bulletin, the RCSLT's official magazine contained an excellent ‘Ask The Experts’ pull out section focussed on child speech sound disorder. All the contributors are well known and respected academics, and the articles were both interesting and pertinent to the practice of most paediatric SLTs. The article contributed by Dr Helen Stringer and Dr Jane Speake clearly defined the intensity of input required to effect change. For example: 2,400 practice items over 40 sessions or 20 hours; 20 target words repeated in three activities i.e. 60 times in a 30 minute session; and at least three practice sessions per week. Busy therapists, carrying heavy caseloads, are not only planning their own therapy sessions, but are also expected to provide support materials for parents and education staff for practice over the following week. Black Sheep Press can come to the rescue! All our speech sound resources provide illustrated activities which will go a long way to achieving the correct 'dose' of therapy.
