Speech Corner—Cycles Approach Cases was designed to improve the development of intelligible speech patterns in children with severe-to-profound expressive phonological impairments. Using the tile cases, auditory bombardment cards, and motivating items, speech-language pathologists have the opportunity to have everything needed for their students to cycle through the major primary patterns and a few selective secondary patterns with the goal of becoming intelligible. The tiles are composed of selectively chosen target words to provide students the best opportunities for successful speech sound practice.

Included in the Speech Corner—Cycles Approach Cases are:

13 cases targeting primary and secondary patterns, each with 30 miniature photo sturdy tiles (2″ x 2″) corresponding to a specific sound or group of sounds (390 tiles in total):

• Syllable Reduction
• Final Consonant Deletion
• Initial Consonant Deletion
• Cluster Reduction—Final /s/-Clusters
• Cluster Reduction—Initial /s/-Clusters
• Fronting
• Backing
• Gliding
• Deaffrication
• Cluster Reduction—Triple /s/-Clusters
• Cluster Reduction—Liquid /l/ & /r/-Clusters
• Stopping (Initial and Final Fricatives)

• 1 case holding 46 color-coordinated auditory bombardment cards (4″ x 6″) for each of the specific target phonemes
• 1 case for creating your own tiles for specific targets or idiosyncratic deviations
• 1 case containing several different motivators/game pieces
• 1 instruction manual listing implementation instructions, activity ideas, and home practice sheets
