Shoo Fly is an all around great activity on so many levels.

  • For therapists using PROMPT it addresses sequenced sounds, rounding, and lingual alveolar sounds, plus integration of jaw 3 and 4 grading. 
  • For therapists working on S blends you get lots of repeated practice with the word “Swat.”
  • For therapists using complex articulation targets, here’s a great S blend word with complex movement. 
  • And finally—whatever approach you use, you can pack this Shoo Fly activity full of meaningful gestures and syllable awareness along with your arctic targets. 
  • Did I forget to mention it’s just plain FUN? 

Watch my Simple Tools video to find out why the target words in Shoo Fly are such awesome articulation targets! Especially the word SWAT.

Here are some possible articulation targets: 

Words: swat, it, dead, one, fly, shoo, me, gone, get, don’t, away, go

Phrases: swat it, dead one, get it, get one, shoo fly, go away

Other Episodes

If narrative language intervention is one of the pillars of your therapy, then you’re going to love what I have for you.
SLPs roles often overlap with other professions. While collaboration is highly desirable, sometimes roles overlap so much as to be almost indistinguishable.
We discuss the art of self-presentation,  the power of a well-told story,  and how to do networking interviews. 
To mark the 100th episode, Dan (our business manager) interviews Denise about her favorite episodes, the beginnings of the podcast, and what the future holds for The Speech Umbrella.
