Visual WH-Question Learning System
QUESTION → CLUE → FIND → ANSWER™
$67.00
Does your child repeat the entire question instead of answering it—or repeat both choices when you give them options? This system helps make WH questions easier to understand by showing children what kind of information the question is asking them to find.
Using clear, child-friendly visual anchors, children learn to connect each question with its meaning:
- WHO → PERSON
- WHAT → THING
- WHAT DOING → ACTION
- WHERE → PLACE
- WHEN → TIME
- WHY → REASON
- HOW → WAY
Instead of repeatedly asking the same question or adding more auditory choices, this system gives children a visual pathway: QUESTION → CLUE → FIND → ANSWER.
Inside you’ll find:
- ✅Step-by-step teaching system
- ✅WH visual anchor cards
- ✅Picture stimuli
- ✅Visual answer choices
- ✅Cueing supports
- ✅Progressive WH-question practice
- ✅Strategies for children who echo the question
- ✅Full-color and printer-friendly B&W
Children can begin by pointing, selecting, matching, using AAC, gesturing, or speaking—then supports can gradually be faded as understanding grows. The goal isn’t to stop echolalia. It’s to help the child understand what the question is asking and build a clearer pathway to an answer.
Make WH Questions Make Sense
BEFORE THE WORDS™
The Connection-to-Speech System
For children who understand more than they can say
Your child understands so much—but getting the words out is a different story. Maybe they communicate by reaching, pointing, pulling you toward what they want, making sounds, using gestures, pictures, signs, or AAC. Maybe you’re waiting for them to imitate sounds or words, but “Say ___” simply isn’t working.
What am I supposed to work on if my child isn’t ready to imitate words yet?
That’s where BEFORE THE WORDS™ begins. Instead of starting with what your child can’t do yet, this connection-first system helps you recognize what they’re already doing—and build from there.
Start with what they CAN do. Then build the next reachable step.
BEFORE THE WORDS™ walks you through the pathway that can come before and alongside spoken words:
All while honoring the ways your child can already communicate—including gestures, pictures, signs, AAC, body language, sounds, and approximations. Because communication comes first. Speech is something we build toward—not something a child has to produce before they can communicate.
Choose How You Want to Use BEFORE THE WORDS™

Speech Sound Library — New Release
The Art of Pronunciation™ | Everyday Speech: /M/ Sound Unit
/M/ practice shouldn’t stop at a stack of flashcards.
Help children practice /m/ in words, actions, picture scenes, stories, and everyday communication — with one visual system designed to move speech practice beyond “say this word.”
Practice the sound. Find it in real life. Use it to communicate.
A child doesn’t only see mitten — they find the mitten in a snow-day scene.
They don’t only practice menu — they see it at the restaurant.
They don’t only say comb — they encounter it during Haircut Day.
And functional concepts such as more, mine, come, coming, yummy, and messy open the door to meaningful language and communication — not just object naming.
From isolated practice to meaningful communication
See it → Say it → Find it → Use it
