Description
Pam's second material on childhood apraxia presents a deep perspective on speech sound development. Using a month-by-month developmental framework, Pam describes how to nurture sound development in children who have great difficulty learning to make sounds and speech. She integrates information from articulation, phonology, oral-motor, and infant vocal development into a comprehensive plan of treatment. This material will help you understand how to help the child make a wider variety of consonants, vowels, syllables and words, and to become more intelligible. The CD's contain Pam's full five-hour seminar. Techniques are appropriate for children of all ages.
- Three CD's (five hours) of Pam's lecture material
- Hundreds of therapy suggestions
- Reference book that fully summarizes lecture material
- Based on thirty years of Pam's clinical experience
- Pam's famous practical style
The Seven Stages of Phoneme Development
- Preparing - getting the voice ready for speech
- Speechifying - making utterances sound speech-like
- Honing - zeroing-in on non-vocalic consonants differentiated by place
- Oscillating - incorporating reciprocating oral movements
- Solidifying - establishing basic syllable constructions
- Advancing - leaping beyond simple syllable constructions
- Finishing - adding clusters and stridency at all levels of speech
A Special Note to Parents
Pam has written this book and recorded this lecture material in such a way that you will be able to follow it. However, she recommends that before you dig into this rather detailed material you read her earlier best-seller Becoming Verbal with Childhood Apraxia described above.
