The H Insertion Trick for Speech Therapy
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Are you targeting stopping, but your child continues to insert a plosive between the target fricative sound and the rest of the word?
e.g., they say “fbeet” for feet
“shtip” for ship
“chtair” for chair
The ‘h’ insertion trick (also described as the aspiration trick by Dr. Caroline Bowen) essentially tricks students into saying words starting with voiceless fricatives, affricates and plosives accurately. By using visuals and blending the initial target sound with a word starting with /h/, children might be able to say their target words clearly.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊--Cues to help students say words starting with voiceless fricatives when they insert a plosive after the initial sound
❷--To try different types of cues, and nothing has helped “click”
❸--To move forwards in therapy and you're unable to do minimal pairs
❹--A trick to help students say voiceless sounds correctly
Who can you use this for?
1. STOPPING: It can be helpful for those students who can say their target sound in isolation but continue to ‘stop’ the airflow so that “fan” is produced as “fban” and “soup” is said as “stoup” or “sdoup”.
2. VOICING: You might also find that this trick works well for students who are voicing a voiceless plosive at the start of their words.
3. OTHER IDEAS: I haven't personally used this for fronting or backing, but I have received feedback from SLPs who state that this trick has been useful for them to elicit the /k/ and /t/ sounds before proceeding to contrast therapy.
