Anyone else looking forward to Spring? We’ve had a decent winter here-I am ready to do some spring gardening. This is immediately followed by the “pretend I don’t see those weeds and good luck vegetable plants” stage of gardening. My plants inside my house are all fake. I haven’t done a ton of St. Patrick’s […]
Clue into your Cues: Environmental Cues
We’ve talked about visual, verbal, gestural and tactile cues. These are all cues that we provide as therapists. We also use visual supports or can change the environment to help our students meet their goals. I’m thinking about how I might use environmental cues to train the following common speech goals: Articulation: Saying an […]

Clue into Cues: Tactile cues
I started talking about this last month-and then got a little distracted with the holidays. My topic of the month for November and December is cues/prompts. I’m using them interchangeably but I realize that many people do make distinctions between the two but I don’t. Maybe I’ll form my own island and have my own rules […]
Clue into Your Cues: Verbal Cues
This month’s theme is talking about cues and prompts. How often are you thinking about the cues that you are giving? I think it is such a second nature type of thing, that I often forget that I am doing it. Cues are part of our skilled service. It’s not the only thing we use […]
Cluing into your Cues: How understanding what you are doing can help you better advocate for speech pathology services.
I am a master of the phonemic prompt. My son even uses it with me. “Mom, do you think we should got to the store and buy some L…(legos?) It’s so effective that it works on many of my colleagues. I may be in the gym and I’ll say something like, “It’s time to throw […]
