Enhance your speech therapy toolkit with the Bjorem Speech® Cycles Intervention: Liquids & Glides Phonology.

Product Features:

• Focused Phonological Targets: The deck includes 60 meticulously chosen targets specifically focusing on liquids (/l/, /r/) and glides (/w/, /j/), which are often challenging for children to articulate correctly.

• Strategically Selected Words: Each card contains target words carefully selected based on phonetically facilitated contexts to enhance learning and articulation.

• Syllable Structure Variety: Targets include CV and CVC syllable shapes, categorized by neighboring vowels to support diverse phonetic environments and improve phonological patterns.

• Accessible Design: Each card measures 2.56″ x 2.56″ and features a thick, soft matte finish to reduce glare, making them easy to use for children with vision impairments.

Benefits of Using This Deck:

• Enhanced Speech Clarity: By focusing on liquids and glides, this deck helps children improve their pronunciation of these essential sounds, which are critical for clear speech.

• Evidence-Based Methodology: Utilizes the Cycles approach, a proven intervention strategy developed by Hodson & Paden in 1991, known for its effectiveness in treating phonological disorders.

• Engaging and Interactive: Vibrant and engaging artwork on each card captures the interest of children, promoting a high number of practice trials during therapy sessions.

• Dual Educational Purpose: In addition to improving speech sound production, the deck is designed to enhance phonemic awareness, an important skill that supports overall linguistic development.

Ideal for:

• Speech-Language Pathologists looking for a targeted tool to effectively treat phonological disorders related to liquids and glides.

• Educators and therapists who require specialized resources to support phonological interventions in classroom and clinical settings.

• Parents and caregivers seeking professional-grade materials to assist with speech development at home.
