Who is the Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 1 helpful for?

The Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 1 (Basic Level) is designed to target and improve CAS and speech sound disorders in children ages 2-8 years old. Children learn to combine consonants and vowels to form words while controlling for speech-motor coordination difficulty. The 225 visual speech therapy referent cards are specifically selected to teach the syllable shapes that are the building blocks of speech that children need to master to become effective vocal/verbal communicators.

This treatment method employs a systematic and progressive approach to simplifying word pronunciation patterns based on natural phonological processes. Use in therapy to shape and expand verbal expression and make communication easier for children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and other speech sound disorders.

The Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 1 (Basic Level) is meant to be adaptable and versatile, catering to the specific needs of each child. It can be used by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in clinical settings or by parents in the comfort of their own homes. This flexibility allows for consistent and targeted therapy that supports a child's speech development.
