Reduplicated Syllable Therapy is the use of simple structures (CV = Consonant Vowel) to encourage speech and sound development in young children.
CV: bay
CVCV: bay bay
CVCVCV: bay bay bay
Children with significant phonological delays struggle with producing more than 1 syllable and their sound inventory is typically limited.
By introducing the CV structures above, beginning with 1 syllable and increasing to 2 and 3 syllables, using sounds the child already produces, clinicians are able to expand the child’s inventory through direct and indirect methods.
A full step-by-step program with baseline and treatment suggestions is available in our Teachers Pay Teachers store! This program is geared to 18 months and up for children not ready for a true phonological approach like Cycles. The simplicity of this program allows caregivers to practice in-between sessions for increased gains in speech and expressive language.
This course is offered for
2 hours of Certification Maintenance Units and can be offered alone or TOGETHER with Cycles for Phonology or Let's Hear It For R!
