Feel More Confident Understanding and Implementing the Minimal Pairs Approach

Have you ever tried to implement the minimal pairs approach for children with speech sound disorders but then hit roadblocks? Either your child is not stimulable for the sound, you don’t know how many words to target, or you're not sure when to progress. You will leave this session with a greater understanding of the approach, strategies to help you problem-solve, and the confidence to implement minimal pairs with a range of therapy activities.
