Description: Treat childhood apraxia of speech with appealing preschool pictures and a precise, organized hierarchy of word selections and prompts. This 240-card set has an evidence-based progression, moving from basic syllable sequences to multisyllabic word production in sentences. The stimuli are phonetically-controlled which lets you introduce one phonemic variable at a time. Captivating art and age-appropriate vocabulary hold youngsters' attention. The nine sections of stimuli are carefully arranged to give a precise progression of demand on the child's motor planning skills: -VC/CV (bee, up) -CVC—no change in consonant (bib, nine) -CVC—change in consonant but not place (mop, sun) -CVC—change in consonant and place (bed, soap) -CVCV—no change in consonant or vowel (no-no, cocoa) -CVCV—change in vowel but not consonant (baby, cookie) -CVCV—change in consonant and vowel (bunny, coffee) -CVCVC (lemon, carrot) -Multisyllabic (banana, fingernail) A five-level cueing hierarchy on each card supports the progression of demand on motor planning. Move your student through all five cueing levels as his motor-planning skills improve. Cueing hierarchy for sections 1 through 7: -Cloze sentence: My pants are too [loose]. -Supply the rhyming word: Goose rhymes with [loose]. -Answer a wh- question: What is the opposite of tight? loose -Say the target word three times: loose, loose, loose -Repeat a sentence that contains the target word: Say, "My shoe is loose." Cueing hierarchy for sections 8 and 9: -Say the target word using forward chaining: Say "Fire." Say "Fire-fite." Say "Fire-fite-er." -Cloze sentence: The fire was put out by the [firefighter]. -Answer a wh- question: Who puts out fires? firefighter -Say the target word three times: firefighter, firefighter, firefighter -Repeat a sentence that contains the target word: Say, "Call the firefighter." The 240 cards are further categorized with markers of the syllable type, sound placement, and vowels used in each word.
