/r/ Intensive SLP
rIntensive SLP is one of Smarty Ears’ articulation apps. rIntensive SLP was developed as a result of “intensive” requests made by our Speech Therapists. Smarty Ears is aware of the high incidence of students seen for their difficulties with /r/.


rIntensive SLP  can become a tool that will help your accuracy levels in teaching the production of the English /r/.


With over 450 target words /r/ intensive is the best tool for practicing this "interesting" phoneme.

rIntensive SLP uses a phonetic approach to teaching the “r” sound by creating subgroups that will hopefully make your student more successful in therapy. We have divided the /r/ phoneme at he word level as follows:

a.Pre-Vocalic /r/
b./r/ Clusters
c./rl/
d./Ir/
e./ajər/
f./ar/
g./er/
h./or/
i./ər/


rIntensive SLP has also added two very useful functions:
1.The “Probes” option. Here you may choose to probe your students and attempt to identify the specific “environment” that you must work on. For example: Your student may only have difficulty with /r/ in clusters and /rl/ but have a good production when the /r/ is in all other phonetic environments.
2.Phrase level. Here the possibility of practicing the /r/ at the phrase level has been created. You may choose to practice the phrase level in conjunction with “word level” or after the student has mastered the “ word level”.


rIntensive SLP is the only tool in the market that allows you to not only practice the production of the /r/ phoneme but also tally the percentage of accuracy at the same time with the same tool: your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
