How confident are you with using a phonological approach?
If you answered “not very”… you’re not alone. Over 80% of SLPs say they don’t feel confident choosing between minimal pairs, cycles, multiple oppositions, stimulability, core vocabulary, or the complexity approach.
This self-paced, online course is part of the PD for Memebeship and takes the guesswork out of treating phonological disorders. You’ll learn exactly when and why and how to use minimal pairs, cycles, multiple oppositions, core vocabulary, stimulability, and the complexity approach - so you can finally choose and use phonological approaches with confidence.
Proudly created by Anna Dalziel, MSc., R.SLP, an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist with 17 years specializing in primary speech sound disorders.

ENROLL TODAY!Are you sick of feeling like you’re guessing when it comes to treating phonological disorders?
Minimal pairs, cycles, multiple oppositions, stimulability, core vocabulary, complexity… there are so many options, and it’s not always clear which one fits best.
But here’s the truth: there isn’t ONE “best” approach that works for every child.
The real skill is knowing when, why, and how to use each one.
The more confident you are in matching approaches to your students’ needs, the more progress they’ll make and the less you’ll second-guess yourself.
This course gives you a clear framework for making those decisions, so you can stop guessing and start planning with confidence.
Before I tell you about the course, let's talk about who this is really for ...
⭐️ SLPs who feel unsure about when to use minimal pairs, cycles, multiple oppositions, core vocabulary, stimulability, or the complexity approach.
⭐️ SLPs who are tired of second-guessing themselves and want a clear decision-making framework.
⭐️ SLPs who want to match the right approach to each child’s error patterns, age, and therapy needs.
⭐️ SLPs who struggle to explain or defend their therapy choices to parents, teachers, or IEP teams.
⭐️ SLPs who value evidence-based practice and want practical clarity on applying it in real therapy sessions.
⭐️SLPs who aren’t using any phonological approaches (or only using one all the time) and want to feel confident choosing an approach and then using it.
If any of this sounds like you, then you’re in the right place!
Choosing a Phonological Approach will give you the clarity, confidence, and framework you need to finally stop guessing - and start making confident, evidence-based therapy decisions.
By the end of this course, you will have mastered how to:

Understand the benefits of each approach and the situations where it may not be the best fit.
Expand Your Toolkit
Stop relying on the same go-to approach every time and instead have multiple tools you can use flexibly.

Key features, theory, population, evidence, target selection and session + caseload examples are discussed for each approach.

Choosing a Phonological Approach will give you the confidence to select, apply, and defend the right evidence-based approach for each child - without second-guessing yourself.
ENROLL TODAY!Right now, more than 80% of SLPs report not feeling confident in choosing a phonological approach..
That number needs to change.
We can’t afford to have SLPs second-guessing or defaulting to the same approach every time because when we aren’t confident, kids don’t get the most effective therapy.
This course is about more than just learning the “what” of each approach. It’s about building the confidence and clarity to choose and use the right approach for each child, every time.
