 Are
you ready for the most effective picture collection and treatment
manual for children with developmental Apraxia of Speech? This vibrant,
exciting picture library has successive word approximations
written on the back of each item so that "late talker"
children can learn to speak!!
Children with apraxia of speech are not capable of initiating
sound sequences necessary to produce normal speech. This occurs
because of a breakdown in the ability to coordinate the oral-motor
movements necessary to produce and combine phonemes to form words,
even though there is no evidence of oral paresis or paralysis. Without
guidance these children often stop attempting to speak or verbalize
patterns at rudimentary levels below that of which they are capable.
This can delay progress and can cause unnecessary frustration for
the child, parents and educators.
This treatment method explains in a systematic way how to
simplify word pronunciation patterns making it easier for children
to communicate. Phonological processes are utilized and explained
as a systematic method of enabling the user to develop verbal stimuli
(successive approximations toward target words) that match the child's
current ability to initiate phonemes. As the child's ability
to produce more complex phoneme patterns improves more appropriate
successive approximation patterns can be introduced keeping the
child's ability to speak at their maximum level.
This unique material (manual and 200 plus stimulus picture
cards) help the clinician determine why a word is difficult for
a child to produce and how to
change the stimulus to meet the motoric needs of the child.
For example, the voiceless phoneme in the word "pony"
may need to be voiced (bou-ni); or the
medial consonant may need to be more "gross" or
visible (dentilize the n) or may need to be deleted (po-i); or the
final vowel may need to be neutralized (po-ne). These picture
stimuli were specifically designed for individuals with apraxia
of speech. They are also appropriate for any individual exhibiting
articulatory and/or phonological impairments.
If the child cannot produce all of the phonemes in simple
bisyllabics (C1 V1 C2 V2) the user is able to choose a variety of
appropriate stimulus material from
this section of the treatment kit. Other treatment categories
include:
VC

 Kit
II is the more complex treatment kit with even more pictures to
include all other complex consonants in different combinations creating
nouns and verbs. These serve as a way to move into more refinement
and integration skills. This treatment material can be used by speech
pathologists as well as parents. Kit II is for the child who is
having most difficulties with complex consonants, in terms of producing
and/or combining them to form words, phrases, and sentences. The
consonants that are emphasized in Kit II are:
/ k / final
/ k / initial
/ s / final
/ s / initial
/ g / initial
CfVCb
CbVCf
/ l / initial
/ l / blends
/ f / final
/ f / initial
/ s / blends
/ r / blends
/S/ final
/S/ initial
"low" pivot syllable
"ter" pivot syllable
"ber" pivot syllable
"ing" or "een" pivot syllable
Familiar complex bisyllabics
Familiar complex polysyllabics
Kit II is a logical step for children who are doing well with
Kit I. It is for the purpose of refining and further integrating
motor-speech coordination. The Kit pictures are for the purpose
of obtaining best word approximations toward target words. The child
will do best when able to work at the level of "natural"
play activities, once the speech and language pathologist or parent
understands how to assist them when whole words are too difficult
