Course Description On Demand, 60-day access to this one-hour, practical, play-based course explores how to effectively use Bjorem Speech Sound Cues® within the framework of the Miccio & Elbert (1996) Stimulability Training Program to expand children’s phonetic inventories and improve overall speech sound acquisition. Participants will learn to define stimulability and explain its critical role in predicting speech sound development and generalization. The course outlines the primary purpose and guiding principles of stimulability training and provides step-by-step guidance for implementation in clinical practice. Through real-world examples and evidence-based strategies, clinicians will discover how to increase stimulability in children with limited phonetic repertoires including CAS, using multimodal cueing (visual, auditory, tactile) and play-based learning activities. Special emphasis is placed on identifying the appropriate target population for this approach, young children with moderate to severe speech sound disorders, and adapting the program for diverse learners using Bjorem Speech Sound Cues® to enhance both visual and motor learning. By the end of the course, participants will leave with actionable tools, practical therapy ideas, and the confidence to integrate stimulability training into everyday practice. Learning Objectives Define stimulability and describe at least two ways it influences speech sound acquisition and generalization in children with speech sound disorders. Describe the primary purpose and guiding principles of the Miccio & Elbert (1996) Stimulability Training Program and its application in clinical practice. List at least four evidence-based strategies for increasing stimulability in children with limited phonetic inventories, including the use of Bjorem Speech Sound Cues to enhance visual and motor learning. Identify the target population for which the Miccio & Elbert (1996) Stimulability Program is most effective and explain how to…
