Lateral/Frontal Lisp Playing Cards

The Bjorem Speech® Lateral/Frontal Lisp Playing Cards are a FUNctional resource designed to support the generalisation of the /s/ sound in final /ts/ word positions—especially for clients with lateral and frontal lisps. This deck is a supplement to the Bjorem Speech® Lateralization Deck, using targeted strategies rooted in phonetic shaping and cognitive reframing to bring clarity and consistency to articulation therapy.

What’s Included:

• 60 playing cards
• 30 pairs of final -ts words (great for all final -ts consonant cluster)!
• Instructions for 3 games: Memory, Go Fish, War

These game-based activities are perfect for promoting motor learning principles and reinforcing the accurate production of /s/ in a way that feels engaging—not overwhelming.

Therapeutic Focus:

• Phonetic Shaping: Teaches correct /s/ placement using coarticulation (represented by the “flat tire” cue from the Lateralization Deck).
• Cognitive Reframing: Helps children see the /s/ as a “new sound,” replacing the incorrect production (like the “snake” sound) with the corrected target through a fun, reframed lens.

Best For:

• Speech-language pathologists working on /s/ remediation
• Clients who can produce /s/ in final /ts/ words but need to generalise it
• Small groups, 1:1 therapy, or home practice

Use alongside the Bjorem Speech® Lateralization Deck for a complete and cohesive therapy approach
