Speech Buddies are a set of tools specifically designed to help the student achieve the correct placement of their tongue when producing certain speech sounds. There is a tool for 5 of the more difficult sounds that we (my students and myself) work on daily to facilitate clearer speech; helping my students be a more effective communicator in school, the home, and community. These tools are AMAZING! I have been able to borrow one of these tools for a first grade student recently. He was able to achieve correct placement of a sound that he struggled with immediately. We used the tool for approximately 2 weeks; now he is making the sounds on his own and we are progressing nicely toward reaching mastery of his target sounds. I have a long list of others that will directly benefit for these tools this year alone, not to mention in the years to come. Typically children receive speech services for 2-3 years before reaching mastery, however, using Speech Buddies will help my students overcome the first hurdle with efficiency, helping them to feel successful. I truly feel that I have the best job in a school setting, helping children to speak more clearly! Communication is not something my students take for granted as they struggle to share their thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
