Description: Kaufman Kit 2 refines intelligibility for children who have mastered sounds in Kaufman Kit 1 (p, b, m, t, d, n, h, w). Advanced level Kit 2 then works to refine articulation and build higher motor-speech coordination. Kit 2 uses familiar two and three-syllable words to target more complicated motor-speech movements and synthesis into initial and final word positions. Kit 2 targets synthesis of /f, g, k, l, s, sh/ and blends /s, r, l/ plus ber and ter. Kit 2 includes 285 visual referent cards and employs the same successive "word shell" approximation approach as found in Kaufman Kit 1. The accompanying manual explains the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) methods and how to quickly and effectively utilize these methods to help children become effective vocal/verbal communicators. Ages 4 to 10. Made in the USA. Targets /f, g, k, l, s, sh/ and blends /s, r, l/ plus ber and ter. Refines articulation and general speech intelligibility. Targets more complicated motor-speech movements and synthesis into initial and final word positions. Cards can be combined to develop sentences for more clarity practice. Includes 285 visual referent cards (5" x 7"). Also see Kit 1–Basic targeting /p, w, b, m, t, d, n, h/. In-Depth Training Available > Controls for oral-motor difficulty. Each card breaks down the target word into a series of successive word approximations based on least physiological effort. These "word shells" provide a verbal avenue by which children communicate at their own skill level with success!
