My Project

My students have Individualized Education Programs with a variety of communication deficits. Many have articulation and phonological deficits and need visual cues to correctly produce their speech sounds.

The Bjorem Speech Publication cards are colorful interactive cards that my students can use to improve their expressive language and speech intelligibility.

Research has shown that using the complexity approach, targeting 3 element clusters, the most complex sounds, will improve speech sound production across erred sounds and facilitate generalization in children; therefore having colorful, vibrant picture cards with scaffolded steps to produce 3 element clusters (i.e., spl, skw, str, skr, spr) will help my students improve their articulation skills and generalize their sounds across contexts.

Oral motor assessment is a critical component of speech and language evaluations.

The Bjorem Oral Motor Assessment Cards deck is an innovative tool for speech language pathologists (SLPs) to use during evaluations. The visually engaging cards are designed with child-friendly instructions to ease the process of conducting thorough oral motor exams.

The deck of cards is an effective way to diagnose specific speech sound disorders in children as the cards transform the assessment into an interactive and amusing experience. Using animals sounds and simple directions makes the process more engaging while ensuring the child and the SLP have a positive and productive experience.
