Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Anyone know if I can purchase Kaufman in the UK? can say all of his sounds now including th, sh, but still struggling to put whole words together although better with a sign prompt so I kind of like the look of the Kaufman sign and say cards, then again ASL isn't signalong but I can probably substitute. It will probably be expensive which is why I am looking for reasonable priced toys as motivators for his independent play and mands. He can now point to himself and say " Shaw " and I am " mum " instead of Pat, hurray. Anyone else combined VB with Kaufman? Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Vicky - we saw lots of these products at Risca's workshop, they have just launched new ones too and they looked great. Contact Risca as she will tell you where best place to purchase from, some of the stuff was from EG Trainings web site so you might find them there.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi VickyI think this is the only place in the UK you can buy Kaufman and no they aren't cheaphttp://www.childreach.co.uk/speech--language-30-c.aspWe use Kaufman Kit 1 and 2 and really like them. The Kits work on speech production, mainly practising and repeating sounds and you can choose which sounds you want to work on. The Sign & Say kits uses pictures (instead of drawings) and uses common objects so it helps with language too. They both use word approximations - trying to say words using whatever sounds that the child has in order to get functional language.To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: jane_hogan@...Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 09:11:41 +0000Subject: Re: Kaufman We used Kaufman products with success.

We saw good results in terms of articulation - could articulate really well sat at a table. He still finds articulation difficult when using spontaneous language. I ordered kits one and two direct from Kaufman's center.
