Dysarthria/Apraxia Treatment Manual 2-Book Set

Dysarthria Treatment Manual and Apraxia Treatment Manual 2-Book Set, by Beth Kaufman-Katz, includes both manuals in a convenient set. Apraxia Treatment Manual features activities organized in a hierarchy of increasing length and complexity, providing articulation practice with three levels of word and sentence lists. Other sections include materials to improve rate, rhythm, and stress, exercises for improving self-monitoring and fine-tuning for natural speech, and group activities like Apraxia Bingo, Newscasts, and phonemic menus (e.g., Chubby's Chicken and Shrimp for palatals). Dysarthria Treatment Manual emphasizes self-monitoring and self-reliance, with dozens of exercises to keep your clients' progress on track. Client and family handouts provide education, and a simple communication board helps people through the rough spots. Addresses oral-motor exercises, resonance, phonation, relaxation, respiration, prosody, intelligibility, and articulation. Advanced exercises feature phonemic menus, e.g. Maddy's Pub (bilabials) and Yogi's Rib House (glides and glottals).
