Posted by SLP on 7/11/2005, 8:16 am, in reply to "Apraxia Treatment Ideas" Cvcv with the same vowels (such as “mama”) Cvcv with different vowels (such as “mommy” Cvc with same consonant (such as “mom”) Cvc with different consonant in both positions such as “mop”) good luck! Hope this helped somewhat- it’s hard to give a thorough plan since Apraxia is complicated and you can use so many techniques- again- try and ask at school as well!! Good luck!!!

There are a few books I know of such as Apraxia for Preschool and the Functional Motor Planning Assessment. Can’t remember off hand how pricy they are. As a student, I would definitely ask your supervisor as well. There is a website – I believe it is called something like “Apraxia kids”. Nancy Kaufman also has many materials available for Apraxia but they may be more difficult to use without having good knowledge of Apraxia. I am not sure how much you know about Apraxia and there are so many things that come into play but the most important is that you are teaching the child sound combinations vs isolated sounds and trying to get these combinations into spontaneous speech. So for example, you may take consonants that the child can say in isolation and pair them with vowels to make words. The typical sequence that I use is:
Cv (such as “me”)
Again- you are working on sound sequences and making the sequences longer or harder as the child gains proficiency. Visual cues for placement of sounds are also very helpful. These cues and some info on Apraxia can be found in the ebooks for therapists. One is especially geared to newer speech therapists working with young kids.
