➡️Does your child or a child that you work with leave off parts of words?!

❓Do they not say initial consonants or final consonants?! THIS video is for you!
Treatment for Final Consonant Deletion and/or Initial Consonant Deletion can be easy to do at home!

Examples of final consonant deletion:
"do" for "dog"
"ho" for "hot"
"re" for "red"

NOT EXAMPLES:
"caft" for "craft"
"pay" for "play"
"skeeze" for "squeeze"
*WHY?! These are actually Consonant Cluster Reductions (big speech and phonological proccess term that means that kids are missing one sound in a CLUSTER of consonant sounds - often found in BL/GL/KL/SL/PL and R-blend words as well!

This technique CAN work for consonant cluster reduction, BUT I would recommend separating the syllables and sounds individually and will make another video on this phonological process soon!

STEPS:
1) Grab a ziplock bag
2) Write the word by each sound (for example WISH would just need 3 post-its "W I SH") - MOST Final Consonant or Initial Consonant Deletion words are CVC words (Consonant Vowel Consonant) - If your child is making OTHER errors - check out other phonological processes or typical substitutions for sounds!
----pro tip: LISTEN to the word first to ensure its the correct sound : FLOWERS (even though its spelled with an /s/ it's actually pronounced as the /z/ sound! WASHING MACHINE (the CH sound is actually pronounced as the SH sound! * these are only examples, not example target words!)
3) Say each sound as you slide the zip past each sound - making the sounds run into each other
4) EXAGGERATE! and/or use a hand cue to help!
5) Most imporantly: Reward! For attempts and trials and REWARD BIG TIME for correct productions! Begin with a single word only, then transition to using it in a phrase imitatively first and then spontaneously/independently (word level: "dog" ; phrase level: "go dog!" ; sentence level: "I see a dog!"

BOOM. You're done!

sound in initial position of words 8/10 times correctly independently
sound in final position of words 8/10 times correctly imitated
sound in final position of words 8/10 times independently
sound in medial position of words 8/10 times correctly imitated
sound in final position of words 8/10 times correctly independently
