I know y’all will love this recap of Lilian Diaz-Vazquez from @bilingualspeechie on Day 6 of Rock the R! Liliana not only discusses therapy for the trill and flap R sounds- but she actually walks us through her best tips and tricks for elicitation of each. Thank you so much for your time and expertise, Liliana! It was such a pleasure to have you join Rock the R!
Trill and Flap R Tip Sheet Freebie
I’m a pediatric SLP who specializes in the R sound. Fun fact- I actually used to dread the R but after dedicating a lot (like… a lot a lot) of time to researching and troubleshooting… I now love it! So much, in fact, that I currently spend my days treating “R kids” via my private practice and creating R resources and continuing education for SLPs via Speechy Things. I’m so glad you found me! Let’s “Rock the R” together!
“I’m so grateful I was able to work with Lindsey. As a teenager, it has been a blessing to find an SLP as encouraging and approachable as Lindsey. Her method of self reflection has really helped me realize the flaws in my speech, and through that I was able to improve. Every session was met with a smile, and Lindsey’s supportive practices made therapy not only fun, but something I looked forward to every week. Thanks to Lindsey I was able to undo fifteen years of poor R’s, and replace it with strong, understandable speech.”
