Help! I'm Stuck Using the Minimal Pairs Approach

SLP

Have you ever started using the minimal pairs approach and then felt "stuck" when your sessions do not go to plan, and all progress stops? In this presentation, we will be addressing three common areas where SLPs experience difficulty using minimal pairs. You will leave this session being able to problem solve what you can do when your child is not stimulable for their target sound, how to help your students understand minimal pairs and options for when your child is not generalizing.
