RE: Moving Across Syllables; Speech Steps-Helpful or not/home activities

[Guest guest]

I don't have experience with the books you mentioned.

Here is a link to home activities to encourage speech:

http://www.speech-express.com/helping-at-home/helping-at-home.html

There are ideas of how to adapt your home; use of toys, games and books,

physical activities, playing with mirrors, music activities, stretching

conversations, playing with food, computer games, using picture cards, etc,

etc, etc.

Hello,

Yesterday on Super Duper I came across a book called " Speech Steps-

Reproducible Drills for Articulation and Language " with an age range

of 18 months-8 years. I went ahead and ordered it.

There was another book that looked interesting-- " Moving Across

Syllables " by Jill Kirkpatrick. It looked very in-depth but I liked

that it gave 'visual, tactile and auditory cueing strategies'. It

was $62 so I didn't order it yet. Has anyone used these books and

were they helpful?

What about " Childhood Apraxia of Speech " by Velleman??

Thank you for any replies. My son is 27 months old and receives

speech and OT. I'm looking for more things that I can do at home to

help him.

Hi Tricia,

Thank you for that link. I was not familiar with it, although we do several

(but not all) activities already.

There's so much info on the main websites that it is sometimes hard to find.
