©2002 Say It Right Got /r/ Problems? A Phonemic Approach to /r/ Remediation ™ Christine Ristuccia, M.S. CCC-SLP

©2002 Say It Right Discussion The lack of a comprehensive remediation strategy is rooted in a general misunderstanding of the /r/ phoneme, deficiencies in post- graduate education instruction, deficient remediation materials and most notably no generally accepted effective method for tackling core /r/ phoneme misarticulation.

©2002 Say It Right Facts About /r/ /r/ is a glide because of its extreme flexibility in assuming the role of either a consonant or a vowel. /r/ has vowel-like characteristics especially if the preceding sound is a vowel. /r/ controlled vowels (e.g. /or/, /ar/) are really comprised of 2 sounds (the vowel + the /r/).

©2002 Say It Right

8 Variations of /r/ /er/ Ernie Buttercup Feather /or/ Orville Corn Four /ar/ Archie Farm Star /air/ Erin Ferry Fair /ire/ Ireland Fire Fireman /ear/ Erie Cereal Deer /rl/ Meryl Prevocalic /r/ Rosa

©2002 Say It Right 21 Types of /r/

©2002 Say It Right 21 Types of /r/ 8 Variations of /r/ x 3 word positions (initial, medial & final) - Limited /rl/ and Prevocalic /r/ words + stressed medial /er/

©2002 Say It Right Why Evaluate the 21 Variations of /r/? To find a starting point for treatment (some students can say more than you think they can). To find out where you will begin your treatment (e.g. visual vowels or using a successful point of production). To properly diagnose the problem (i.e. Are they just distorting the vowels or can they say some word positions, but not others?).

©2002 Say It Right Sample Evaluation of /r/ Case Study: Erin Blair, an 8 yr old, is frustrated because she can’t correctly pronounce her name. Also, the classroom teacher is concerned with her spelling and reading of various /r/ words. Comprehensive evaluation of /r/ shows that the student misarticulated initial and final /air/ words. Therefore, initial and final /air/ words should be the only words targeted in the remediation process.

©2002 Say It Right Concern With Remediating /r/ Only Based on Initial, Medial and Final Word Positions This approach only focuses on the spelling of the word and the position of where /r/ is in a word. The phonetic component of /r/ is completely ignored. Many of the /r/ controlled vowels are not represented in this list. No starting point for therapy.

©2002 Say It Right Solution Evaluate and treat /r/ phonetically based on word position and sound. Clients may be able to produce an /r/ controlled vowel in one word position, but not another.

©2002 Say It Right Benefits of Using a Phonetic Approach To Remediate /r/ Addresses true characteristics of the /r/ controlled vowels. Helps write targeted IEP goals. Consistent practice for the students. Saves time. Get results. Other Misarticulated /r/’s begin to generalize.

©2002 Say It Right Remediation Work on only one type of /r/ at a time. (e.g. /ar/ initial) while slowly introducing other word positions within that variation (e.g. /ar/ final). Target and complete one /r/ controlled vowel combination (e.g. /ar/) before moving onto another /r/ controlled vowel combination (e.g. /or/). Use success in one word position to shape the other word positions (e.g. if they are successful with /ar/ medial words, use their success in that position to shape the other /ar/ word positions).

©2002 Say It Right Why Focus on One Sound and Word Position at a Time? Enhances motor planning. Consistent practice for the student. Student knows their goal (s). Goal: Achieving mastery at that level. You can use their success at that level to shape other /r/ sounds/word positions.

©2002 Say It Right Visual & Non-Visual /r/ Controlled Vowels Visual Vowels /ar/ Prevocalic /r/ /or/ /ire/ /ear/ /air/ Non-Visual Vowels /er/ /rl/ Varies student to student. This theory is based on the fact that babies learn visual phonemes first. (e.g. /p/, /b/, /m/)

©2002 Say It Right Elicitation Techniques Write target /r/ controlled vowel on board to increase students awareness that there are two or more sounds they need to produce. Model target sound for student. Target one entire position before moving onto the next word position.

©2002 Say It Right Elicitation Techniques Have students use a mirror so that they can see their own mouth. This is important to eliminate any lip rounding and to ensure that the student is producing both the /r/ plus the vowel. Remediate only the /r/ controlled vowel and word position in need. Consistently practice the /r/ controlled vowel and word position in need.

©2002 Say It Right Elicitation Techniques Use their success in one word position to help shape the other misarticulated word positions. Elongate the /r/ controlled vowel (e.g. /ar/) to ensure that both the vowel plus the /r/ are being pronounced (2-3 seconds). Prompt with placement/manner cues, visual teaching tools.

©2002 Say It Right Shaping an /r/ From a Word Position That They Can Say Educate the student about the /r/ variations that they can say (show them their screening results). Instruct them to say one of the /r/ words that they can say and ask them what their tongue is doing. Use the whisper technique. E.g. Student can say Archie and barn, but not star. Instruct student to say the word bar> and whisper the final /n/. Put the glottal /h/ sound preceding and following the /r/ sound (e.g. her hat).

©2002 Say It Right Benefits of Using /r/’s That the Student Can Say Mental/kinesthetic practice facilitates learning. Demonstrates to the student that he/she can say /r/. Increases motivation

©2002 Say It Right Evaluation Tips 1.Evaluate the 21 types of /r/ + initial /r/ blends. 2.Did the student produce any correct /r/ variation or word position? 3.If the student did produce correct /r/ variation/word positions; determine which ones they were. 4.Could the student produce any of the /er/ variations?

©2002 Say It Right Evaluation Tips 5. Could the student produce initial /r/ blends? 6. Were most of the correct sounds the visual vowels (/ar/, /or/, /ire/, /ear/, /air/)? 7. Do some probe testing the first couple of sessions to determine from the correct productions which /r/ productions the student was the most successful with?

©2002 Say It Right Evaluation Tips 8. If the student has no correct productions of the 21 variations of /r/, begin with the visual vowels (use the suggested hierarchy) and elicitation techniques. 9. If the student has no correct production of the 21 variations of /r/ and have correct productions of /r/ blends, try using some of the /r/ blends to facilitate /er/. For example: Brett rett, B > ertt 10. Is lip rounding evident?

©2002 Say It Right Evaluation Tips 11. Is the student deleting or making the vowel in the /r/ controlled vowel combination too short? 12. Are the students over exaggerating the /r/? Does the student sound/look as though he is trying too hard. E.g. putting an /er/ in front of prevocalic /r/’s as in /er red/. 13. Has the student had prior speech therapy for /r/? How long, what approach was used?

©2002 Say It Right Erin Blair Evaluation Erin Blair, an 8 year old, 3 rd grader, is frustrated because she can’t correctly pronounce her name. She also had difficulty with certain /r/ words. Her classroom teacher is concerned with her spelling and reading as Erin is not able to make sound/symbol association with words containing /r/, so she referred Erin to speech. A comprehensive screening evaluation of /r/ for Erin shows that the student misarticulates initial and final /air/ words.

©2002 Say It Right Erin Blair Evaluation Based on The Entire World of R™ screening evaluation, only initial and final /air/ words should be targeted in the remediation process. Sample Word List: /air/ Initial Arizona Erin Heiress Arrowhead Aerosol /air/ Final Millionaire Square Scare Tear Pair

©2002 Say It Right Use Successfully Produced /r/’s to Produce Other /r/’s Example: Correctly produced /ar/ final Car>art (elicit initial /ar/) cart (elicit medial /ar/) Example: Correctly produced /air/ final Fair >air (elicit initial /air/)

©2002 Say It Right Facts About /er/ /er/ is part of the other /r/ controlled vowels 2 ways to teach the /er/ sound Retroflexed or Retracted Either way is fine.

©2002 Say It Right Mary Miller Case Study Mary Miller is a 7-year-old second grader. She recently transferred with a current speech IEP. When listening to Mary speak, she obviously has trouble articulating her /r/’s. Her file indicates that her previous speech-language pathologist had limited progress with /r/ therapy. You do a more detailed screening utilizing The Entire World of R  screening form. The result is to the left.

©2002 Say It Right Mary Miller Case Study Based on The Entire World of R™ screening evaluation, only initial, medial and final /ar/ words, initial, medial and final /or/ and /er/ medial stressed and /er/ final words should be targeted in the remediation process. Remediation Plan: Begin remediating the visual vowels first such as initial,medial and final /ar/. Next target initial, medial and final /or/. Save /er/ medial stressed and /er/ final for last. What are some sample word lists for Mary to use?

©2002 Say It Right Retroflex vs. Retracted You can use either approach. If student is unsuccessful with retroflex /r/ even after you have tried various techniques, then you may want to introduce the retracted /r/.

©2002 Say It Right Techniques to Elicit /er/ Alternate with: her hat, hat her; /er/, /ar/, /ar/, /er/. Listen to which /er/ word position they are more successful with (e.g. /er/ medial stressed). Practice these, alternate with drills if you need to. Note: Some words within /er/ medial stressed may be easier to produce due to co- articulation (e.g. hurdle vs. purse). If the can successfully produce initial /r/ blends, you can try to elongate the blends.

©2002 Say It Right When to Move onto the Next Sound and/or Word Position? Once a word position for that phonetic /r/ is mastered (e.g. Target /ar/ initial until mastery--80% at the phrase and sentence level--then medial /ar/, then final /ar/). Only after all three word positions are mastered (initial, medial, & final) should the student move on to another vowel combination (e.g. /or/).

©2002 Say It Right Eric Ross Case Study You get an initial referral for a 3 rd grade student named Eric Ross. The teacher and the parent are concerned with the articulation of /r/, which they feel, is affecting his reading and spelling. A comprehensive screening was done utilizing The Entire World of R  Screening Form.

©2002 Say It Right Eric Ross Case Study Eric misarticulates initial and final /air/, prevocalic /r/ and /er/ in the initial word position. Treatment Plan: Begin remediating the visual vowels first such as initial and final /air/ and prevocalic /r/. Save /er/ for last. What are some sample words to use with Eric?

©2002 Say It Right Summary Current strategies are ineffective. 8 /r/ controlled vowels. Evaluated /r/ controlled vowels utilizing The Entire World of R™ Screening Form. Remediation. Benefits of a phonetic approach to /r/ remediation. Elicitation techniques.
