"You taught me things about "R" that I never knew, though about or imagined. Armed with this book that you wrote, I now feel competent to tackle that difficult sound that so many SLP's dread to conquer!"

"The best /r/ book around is Pam Marshalla's Successful R Therapy. Very practical and informative. It gave me the confidence to finally tackle /r/ therapy. "
- Pacsl, SLP
"I had an aha moment in class when you said that some clients needs both a tip up /r/ approach combined with a butterfly position. I tried this with a client who is 10 and has never said an /r/ sound correctly. Guess what?! She got it! We all started to cry - mom, client and me! It was the best moment ever! Thank you soooo much! She has been able to stabilize the /r/ since then and we are now working on putting it in other contexts. Thanks again!"
