	Consumer Slide Shows Here you will find educative PowerPoint slideshows about speech sound disorders. There are shows on modelling, recasting, revisions and repairs and encouraging children who are reticent to say more. You can modify them to suit individual client needs.
	Phonology and Articulation Resources On this page you will find pictures and words to use in therapy for children's speech sound disorders. The resources include consonant worksheets for Syllable Initial Word Initial (SIWI) and Syllable Final Words Final (SFWF) positions, pictured minimal word pairs and near minimal word pairs, pictured minimal word triplets, and word lists.
	Internet for Speech-Language Professionals Click on the link above for a PowerPoint slide show aimed to introduce SLPs/SLTs to the Internet. There is a related annotated links page that was developed specifically for this presentation. The PowerPoint show is based on a tutorial format designed for allied health professionals by Nottingham University’s BIOME team.
	Therapy Facts and Tricks! A collection of child speech therapy techniques that may be useful when working with children with difficult-to-shift phonetically or phonemically based speech sound difficulties is contained on this page. Included are stimulability techniques, the aspiration trick for /f/, /s/ and 'sh, backward chaining for /k/, chaining for /k/, and techniques for "ch", /r/ and /l/.
	Vowel Contrasts This page comprises minimal pair pictures for a range of vowel (and diphthong) contrasts. The vowel contrasts represent (non-rhotic Australian English pronunciation, but most of them will "work" in other dialects of English.
	The Butterfly Procedure The butterfly procedure is a technique that SLPs/SLTs may find successful in working on lateral and palatal fricative distortions, particularly "lateral s" and "lateral z". It begins with the butterfly position and can be used with children (from the age of about three), adolescents and adults.
	The Quick Screener Here is a child speech screening assessment procedure, presented as a PowerPoint show, with a form for SLPs/SLTs and a form for teachers, as well as three slideshows that SLPs/SLTs may find useful in describing to teachers how to use the screener.

	Intervention Approaches Coming in 2009: descriptions of Auditory Input Therapy, Core Vocabulary Therapy, the Imagery Approach, Integral Stimulation and Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, application of Markedness Theory to Target Selection, Metaphon, Minimal Pairs Therapy, PACT: A broad-based approach, Patterns (Cycles) Therapy, Phonetic Approaches, Phonotactic Therapy, the Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme -2004 and PROMPT.
	The Fixed-up-One Routine As adult speakers we continually make little mistakes when we speak. We barely notice these mistakes at a conscious level, but quickly correct ourselves, and go on with what we are saying. Many children with speech sound disorders are generally not very good at self-correcting. They seem to find it difficult to listen to themselves critically in order to monitor their speech and make any necessary revisions and repairs. Here is a technique that may help.
	Word Lists Minimal pairs, listening lists and more for phonological and articulation therapy.
