Who is Marcus Little?

Marcus Little is a speech-language pathologist with an M.Sc. who has practiced since February 1999, almost 28 years. He built a homework-first method for speech practice and shares free handouts so SLPs can send families home with something that works.

Why did Marcus build this method?

Marcus applied the Pareto principle, the 80/20 rule, to his own practice to find what makes the most difference. The answer was high-repetition, success-based practice: more correct repetitions in less time, kept at a level the child can already do.

How can SLPs use these handouts?

Print the family copy from any handout and send it home. Each family copy says it supports speech therapy rather than replacing it, so families know it works alongside your sessions.
