Artic Questions 1.0

Description:

This application is the perfect combination of articulation enhancement and language improvement. It is truly one of a kind (just like your amazing students)! It is a comprehensive collection of over 2,000 unique articulation specific questions (525 multiple choice questions, 975 open-ended questions, and 975 silly sentence questions). These articulation questions are designed for speech-language pathologists to use with individuals who exhibit difficulty producing the following speech sounds: S, Z, R, L, S/R/L Blends, SH, CH, and TH. It is intended to aid in the remediation of articulation impairments, as well as auditory and language difficulties because clients often need practice in more than one area of communication.

An example of a FINAL R multiple choice question: What store would you rather visit this weekend - a pet store or a candy store? Why?

An example of an INITIAL TH open-ended question: If I had three arms, I would . . . Why?

An example of a MEDIAL S silly sentence: The principal rode an elephant to school in the morning. This is silly because . . .

The articulation questions format is a departure from traditional articulation drill work and is effective for students ages 6 and up. Because of this unique format, clients enjoy asking the articulation questions to their friends and classmates outside of the speech therapy room, further practicing their communication skills and thereby facilitating the sometimes difficult stage of carrying over newly-acquired skills. By reviewing the questions with the client, paraprofessionals in the classroom and/or parents at home can reinforce the client's skills while sharing a fun activity. All of the articulation questions in this application can be printed out or emailed to ensure that the student is practicing communication skills in environments outside the speech therapy setting because that increases opportunities for generalization of communication skills.

We invite you to use these articulation questions to spice up your speech therapy sessions. The questions are intended to initiate exciting and lively conversations. Every inquiry has the potential to lead almost anywhere. Even a question that appears simple can trigger a unique thought process and complex response.

Regardless of when, where or how these articulation questions are used within the speech therapy session, one thing is certain, children (as well as clinicians) will have a blast answering these questions . . . and in the process they will continue to practice the correct pronunciation of their sounds at the spontaneous conversation level. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with this speech therapy application!
