Target Audience

For SLPs working with children who are having difficulty with the production, synthesis, and/or sequencing of words with /k, g, f, l, s, sh/ and blends /s, r, l/. Visual referents are most appropriate for children ages 4-10.

How much time is required?

About 15 minutes to complete a session.

Description

Refines articulation and speech intelligibility, plus builds higher speech motor coordination skills using familiar two and three syllable words.
Kaufman Kit 2 uses familiar two and three-syllable words to target more complicated speech motor movements and synthesis into initial and final word positions. The 285 visual referent cards target sounds /f, g, k, l, s, sh/. Also included are blends of /s, r, l/ and pivot syllables of lowberter, and ing. As with Kaufman Kit 1, the treatment methods employ a systematic and progressive approach of simplifying word pronunciation patterns to shape and expand verbal expression and make communication easier for children with CAS and other speech sound disorders. Ages 4-10 years.

How It Works:

This highly effective approach builds intelligibility through a hierarchy of successive "word shell" approximations. Stimulus cards feature bright, color illustrations on the front. The reverse side breaks down the target word into a series of approximations based on the least physiological effort of that target word.

The clinician is able to introduce more complex phoneme patterns as the child's ability improves, thus maintaining the child's ability to speak at his or her maximum level. These "word shells" provide a verbal avenue by which children communicate at their own skill level and with success!

Kaufman Kit 2 Therapy Targets:

  • CbVCf – One and two-syllable back-velar to tip-alveolar
  • CfVCb – One and two-syllable tip-alveolar to back-velar
  • "low" pivot syllable
  • /tƏr/ pivot syllable
  • /bƏr/ pivot syllable
  • "ing" pivot syllable
  • Familiar complex bisyllabics
  • Familiar complex polysyllabics
  • Synthesis of /f, g, k, l, s, sh/ and blends /s, r, l/
  • Synthesis into initial and final word positions
