I have a Spanish speaking student that has a hard time trilling their 'R'. I am honestly at a loss at how to help them other than just repetition and trying to get down saying "perro" (dog). Does anyone have any ideas?

I had heard it was genetic and went to verify that just now. I heard wrong. https://www.mcislanguages.com/mcis-blog/a-step-by-step-beginners-guide-to-the-alveolar-trill-learn-to-roll-your-rs/

Your job is to help children overcome speech impediments. Whether it's using "W" for "R" or more serious speech issues, you have a difficult and important role in our education system. For English-speaking students learning Spanish, things like the trilled R and the "nya" sound (that squiggly thing over an N) the Spanish teacher just rolls her eyes and chalks it up to our linguistic incompetence. I have no idea how to correct that linguistic problem. Don't even get me started on the weird sounds Germans and Scandinavians make. Those sounds don't exist in our mouths, I am almost certain. Even the French have weird noises -- throwing the "ng" sound into the back of your nasal cavity is one. As with most of these types of impediments, people can understand what they are saying -- sometimes with difficulty and perhaps sometimes confusing one word for another. Fact is, this child's parents have a better chance of correcting that kind of problem through what we call "language immersion" at home than you do in an hour-long class at school.

True. Hoping to just help in any way I can. I do agree that immersion in the language is almost always the best solution.

I was told to try rolling r while biting a pencil. The idea was making it hard. Native Spanish speaker told me.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
