Do you have students who really struggle with the /r/ sound?  R distortions can be tricky! Clinically, it’s a huge challenge for many SLPs to work with. So in this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Tara McAllister to talk about how we can use biofeedback to improve treatment for persistent issues with the /r/ sound.  Tara McAllister, PhD, CCC-SLP, is an Associate Professor of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at New York University. She conducts NIH-funded research on technology-enhanced treatment methods for persistent speech sound disorder.  Topics covered in this episode include: The power biofeedback has to help kids struggling with /r/ distortionsHow biofeedback works and how we can use it with our studentsWhy the /r/ sound is such a struggle for so many studentsHow to get access to biofeedback tools in your schoolSome success stories from clinicians using biofeedback for their studentsTips for struggling SLPs to improve outcomes in students with these distortions I know the /r/ distortion can be such a challenge, but biofeedback can really help.
