Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for /s/ and /z/ by Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson, MS, CCC-SLP

The Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for /s/ and /z/  book by Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson, MS, CCC-SLP, is a first in a series of programs designed to teach standard speech sound production using combination of traditional articulation therapy in conjunction with Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) activities. It is designed for clients who need auditory, visual and tactile information to learn to use standard /s/ and /z/ in all speech environments.

In this program you will learn how to: 

•  Perform an evaluation with a client who evidences an inter-dental or lateral lisp
• Write a complete Oral placement/movement for feeding and speech evaluation 
• Create and write a computer generated Report and Program Plan tailored to address your client's specific needs. 

Once this process has been completed, you will use the 20 lesson plans with associated Homework sheets and speech practice sheets to assist you in correcting your clients inter dental or lateral productions. 

In the Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for /s/ and /z/  book, each of the 20 lesson plans is divided into 4 sections: 

1. Sensory
2. Feeding 
3. Placement/Movement Activities 
4. Speech
