Individualised, four-stage programmes to help parents and school staff support children with unclear speech
Sound Builders is an innovative online product which guides you through a personalised speech programme with a child you work or live with whose speech is unclear.
How it works
-
A speech assessment, carried out by a qualified Speech and Language Therapist and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) within the past 6 months is required to check that Sound Builders is appropriate. If you would like an assessment carried out remotely by Elklan, click here.
-
Select the sounds that require therapy. Check to see if a programme is available for this difficulty.
-
Purchase access for that programme.
Each programme is made up of four stages:
At each stage, the programme provides you with:
Your own child's name inserted into the programme, so that it's personal
Clear guidance so you know when to move to the next stage
Colour photos which are attractive and graded from simple to more complex words
Help to support your child listen to sounds

What do practitioners say?
I absolutely loved completing the programme. The fact the Sound Builder is step by step makes it quick and easy to follow. The information given is short enough to not weigh me down with detail but detailed enough to ensure I am on the right path with my delivery. I have seen vast amounts of progress from N in the short time I have been working with him and that is down to this programme, its resources and its structure. The fact that resources are already sorted for me to use is fantastic - what a timesaver! I like that SB offers lots of different focus sounds that we can now use across school with other pupils. It was very easy to understand when a child could move on to the next stage or what I needed to do if they were finding things tricky/weren't achieving.K.M., 2020, re: Sound Builders programmes
