What is success-based therapy homework?

Practice kept at a level where the child is correct on nearly every repetition, so accuracy and confidence build together. Families practice what the child can already do rather than correcting errors.

How long should home speech practice take each day?

About 5 to 10 minutes, ideally in shorter sessions, focused on many correct repetitions.

Can I give these handouts to families?

Yes. Each handout has a family copy you can print or hand out. Print it from your browser and only the family copy prints.

Why does success-based therapy homework work?

Practice that stays below the child's hard ceiling keeps every repetition accurate. That means more correct repetitions in less time and fewer corrections at the kitchen table. Families stop dreading homework because they see the child succeed.

The method comes from Marcus Little's 20 Best Tips for Speech Practice, and every handout here uses its language. See the glossary for each term.
