More About This Product

Kaufman Speech Praxis Test For Children by Nancy R. Kaufman

An innovative new resource that assists in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental apraxia of speech in preschool children. It identifies the level of breakdown in a child's ability to speak, so that treatment can be established and improvement tracked. Easy-to-administer and score in 5 to 15 minutes with children, 1.0 to 5.11 years. Measures child's imitative responses to the clinician, locates where the child's speech system is breaking down and points to a systematic course of treatment. Covers the hierarchy of simple to complex motor speech movements: oral movement level, simple phonemic / syllable level and complex phonemic / syllabic level. Goes beyond initial diagnosis by providing measurement and quantified gains in motor speech proficiency. Individual sections help establish treatment goals and measure progress.

Kit includes: Manual, clinician's guide, 25 test booklets (each to be used twice), and sturdy plastic briefcase.
