An Essential Resources for those Implementing the Cycles Approach!

This set of 50 double-sided cards is designed to maximize speech practice efficiency, featuring three photographs with four repetitions per side, allowing for a total of 24 repetitions per card. If a student completes one card four times during a therapy session, they can achieve approximately 100 trials per session.

Targeted Phonological Patterns

Primary Patterns

• Syllable Reduction
• Final Consonant Deletion
• Initial Consonant Deletion
• Cluster Reduction—Final /s/-Clusters
• Cluster Reduction—Initial /s/-Clusters
• Fronting
• Backing
• Gliding

Secondary Patterns (for subsequent cycles)

• Deaffrication
• Cluster Reduction
• Stopping

Additional Resources

• Quick Reference Cards: Summarize the Cycles Approach, provide an overview of phonological processes, their typical elimination ages, and whether they are primary or secondary patterns.
• Index Card: Lists all phonological processes, their order in the deck, and specific card numbers for quick and easy organization.

With this streamlined collection, therapists can efficiently address key phonological processes, track progress, and deliver high-impact speech practice sessions.
