Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 2 (Advanced Level)

Engage children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) to refine articulation and build advanced higher level speech-motor coordination skills!

The Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 2 (Advanced Level) is a comprehensive and empowering solution for speech therapy targeting Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). This advanced kit is specifically designed to support children with CAS as they progress toward more complex speech production skills.

This advanced kit includes a wide range of stimulating activities, engaging picture cards, and a detailed guidebook. The activities are specifically designed to challenge and refine the speech production skills of children with CAS. The picture cards provide visual support to aid in word production, and the guidebook offers expert guidance, strategies, and tips to maximize therapy sessions and home practice.

Who is this articulation resource helpful for?

The Kaufman (K-SLP) Treatment Kit 2 (Advanced Level) is designed to refine and improve CAS and speech sound disorders in children ages 4-10 years old. Kaufman Kit 2 uses familiar two and three-syllable words to target more complicated speech motor movements and synthesis into initial and final word positions. As with Kaufman Kit 1, the treatment methods employ a systematic and progressive approach of simplifying word pronunciation patterns to shape and expand verbal expression to make communication easier for children with CAS and other speech sound disorders.

The 285 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.

Kaufman Kit 2 is a valuable asset for speech language pathologists (SLPs) and parents alike. It enables therapists to create individualized therapy plans tailored to each child's unique needs and progress. Parents can actively participate in their child's speech therapy journey, fostering consistent and effective practice at home. Therapists and parents can provide the support, guidance, and tools necessary for children to overcome the challenges of CAS and communicate with clarity and confidence.
