Speech Therapy Apraxia Words 1.2

Speech Therapy for Apraxia – Words is a practical and efficient resource designed for:

• Children diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech/dyspraxia
• Adults dealing with apraxia
• Individuals involved in the care of people with apraxia, such as therapists or parents
• Additionally, it can assist with traditional articulation exercises

It serves as a logical continuation of the original syllable-based app, Speech Therapy for Apraxia.

It initiates with single words featuring simpler articulation patterns and advances to more complex production sequences, including sequences of random words.

Features:

• Option to select from 9 distinct word groups for targeting practice
• Categorization of words based on the place and pattern of articulation within the word
• For each group, the choice to select the desired practice level
• Detailed instructions on selecting an appropriate word group and practice level
• An organized progression of 8 levels to enhance speech motor planning
• Accompanying illustrations and audio for each word
• Capability to repeat levels, reset progress, or proceed to the next level
• Potential use as a structured articulation drill focusing on specific phonemes
