RE: Pronoucning the K sound

[Guest guest]

Donna

K and G are among the hardest sounds to reproduce.

In our therapy, we use a book called " Symbol Articulation " from Mayer

, and some cards called " WASP " (do a google search). These have

really helped Hayley learn to use her voice to communicate.

Good Luck

DONNA,

The WASP cards can be found here:

Bringing Sound to Life: Principles and Practices of Cochlear Implant

Rehabilitation

Available through: York Press, PO Box 504, Timonium, MD 21094, ,

http://www.yorkpress.com

This program provides a systematic approach to spoken language habilitation

for children of all ages. It includes a video training series, a manual, and

a program to develop phoneme perception and a production called Word

Associations for Syllable Perception (WASP). The video training series

includes four videotapes: 1) Building Blocks of Spoken Language; 2)

Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss; 3) Cochlear Implants and Children:

An Opportunity, Not a Cure; and 4) Principles and Practices of Cochlear

Implant Rehabilitation. The videos are an excellent resource for family

education and/or teacher training. The manual provides insights, strategies,

and tools integral to the spoken language habilitation process. The WASP

program includes a laminated set of picture cards. This program can be

purchased as a package or as individual components.

I THINK but cannot be positive that the WASP has the K and G sounds and

associated syllables. I think York Press can help you. Although your son

does not have a CI, wouldn't the premise be the same?
