Bjorem Lateral/Frontal Lisp Playing Cards

Support the generalization of accurate /s/ production with the Bjorem Lateral/Frontal Lisp Playing Cards—a FUNctional tool designed to reinforce the /s/ sound in final /ts/ clusters. Whether you’re addressing lateral or frontal lisps, this deck offers structured practice paired with meaningful, game-based learning to promote motor learning and long-term carryover.

Bring clarity to /s/ production!
Built as a companion to the Bjorem Lateralization Deck, this set targets clients who can produce /s/ in final positions but need help transferring that skill into everyday speech. Using evidence-based techniques like phonetic shaping and cognitive reframing, students practice the correct “flat tire” sound in a motivating and playful context.

Targets key articulation skills:

• Generalization of /s/ in final /ts/ word positions

• Remediation of lateral and frontal lisps

• Motor planning and consistent sound placement

• Engagement through game-based repetition

Perfect for:

• Speech-language pathologists focusing on /s/ remediation

• Clients ready to generalize final /ts/ productions

• 1:1 therapy, small groups, or home practice

• Use alongside the Bjorem Lateralization Deck for cohesive support

Built for structured play:

The deck includes 30 minimal pairs (60 cards) with final /ts/ targets and instructions for three familiar games: Memory, Go Fish, and War—designed to maximize meaningful repetition while keeping students actively engaged.

Therapy-approved benefits:

• Promotes correct /s/ placement through coarticulation (“flat tire” cue)

• Reframes production with positive, child-friendly imagery

• Reinforces motor learning principles through high-trial games

• Easy-to-implement, no-prep activity for therapists and caregivers

Includes:

✔️ 60 playing cards (30 final /ts/ word pairs)
✔️ Instructions for 3 games: Memory, Go Fish, and War
✔️ Based on the proven cues and techniques from the Lateralization Deck
