Description
The Source for Apraxia Therapy–Second Edition provides a
wealth of newly-revised stimuli for the treatment of acquired apraxia of
speech. Use it to provide graduated exercises to help your clients
regain as much of their communication ability as possible, regardless of
the severity of their apraxia.
Choose from monosyllabic to
paragraph-length material for retraining the articulatory, phonatory and
resonatory systems using visual, auditory and kinesthetic planning,
execution and feedback systems. This thorough revision features
all-inclusive target areas for phonemes, connected discourse, fluency
and paralinguistics; three different representational systems for
modeling, planning, execution, self-identification and remediation; and
ample stimulus items for practice.
The stimuli are arranged as:
Section 1: Phonemic Groups
includes bilabials, labio-dentals, lingua-dentals, lingua-alveolars,
glottals, lingua-velars, lingua-palatals, blends, and vowels.
Section 2: Articulation/Fluency/Phrasing includes multisyllabic words, conversational sentences, paragraphs, similar word pairs, heteronyms, and more.
Section 3: Paralinguistic Drill includes exercises to vary pitch, emphasize target words, and convey emotions.
The
exercises focus on the phoneme in the initial position. The medial and
final positions are addressed through coarticulation exercises. The
exercises are arranged for three modes of presentation:
- clinician reading, client imitating
- client reading
- client looking at word, clinician modeling, client imitating
The exercises can be used with clients who have:
- apraxia
- dysarthria
- dysfluency
- pronunciation difficulties as in English language learners
- articulation difficulties due to a hearing impairment
