Choosing the best words for articulation therapy using facilitative contexts

This session teaches participants how to use facilitative contexts to improve sound production in articulation therapy. By identifying words a student can already pronounce correctly, therapists can bypass traditional isolation and elicitation phases. Case studies and therapy clips will help attendees develop a framework for choosing effective practice targets to enhance student success in therapy.
