Do you need visual supports for articulation carryover in speech therapy? I have a quick articulation carryover idea that may help your students. Many of my students are great with producing their sounds at the single sentence level, but struggle with monitoring their speech in other contexts.
When we work on their articulation during more unstructured conversational tasks, my student need many verbal and visual reminders to think about their speech.
Visual Supports For Articulation Carryover In Speech Therapy
I have been trying to fade back my verbal prompts, but was having little success. I use some visual prompts when we do drill and kill type of activities, but when we move to more unstructured tasks, many of my kids completely forget about the sound they are working on.
Sound familiar? I wanted to have something that I could hold up or another student to help visually remind them to THINK ABOUT THEIR SPEECH!
I made some visual speech reminders and taped onto craft sticks. I can hold these up every time the student needs a visual reminder during structured conversational tasks.

What tips and tricks do you have for working on articulation at the conversational level?
Love this idea!
I love this idea! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Such a great idea! Great way to fade cues.
Love it! I too am struggling to fade the prompts!
Hope these visuals help!
Great idea!
Thanks!
I’m going to try both ideas this year…I’m going to keep the same hairdo so I can use last year’s photos as well as this year’s ( we don’t get THAT many photos!) I’ll use the speech bubbles on popsicle stix in the speech room. Thanks for sharing!
Hope they get those kiddos off your caseload!
I keep trying to download this freebie but when I press the link, it says I have to put my information in, which I have done numerous times now! Please let me know another way to download this! Would love to use it.
You need to check your email for the download. If you don’t see it in your inbox, then it is probably in your junk email file.
Do you have any tricks or tips for carryover in the classroom? Obviously a teacher cannot hold up a speech bubble reminder in front of a class.
Joan, I struggle with this as well! I have a teacher that is super cool and gives her speech students 5 minutes a day in class to practice as long as I provide some worksheets.
Hi,
I am trying to download the articulation reminders but it says I need an email to continue and even once I put that in, it does not redirect me to the page. Please help.
Hey Jessica, it should have sent straight to your email. Check your junk email as well!
I’ve done this except tapping a index card with their sound printed on it every time I hear an error. And last year I started, as a positive, stamping a separate index card when I hear the good sound. I have a group of girls that try to compete to see who can get the most stamps on their card. 🙂
