Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi everyone, I was on the Kaufman site and found that there is a seminar very close to my home in about 2 weeks. I saw that it's for SP's but it said they allow parents to attend. I'm wondering if anyone has been to the " Evaluation and Treatment of Children with Apraxia of Speech " seminar (sponsored by Northern Speech/National Rehab Services)? If so, is it something that would go totally over my head, or will it be helpful? It costs $159.00, so I don't want to waste the money if I'm not going to understand a word of what they are saying! They are probably booked, but I thought I might give it a try. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi Wendi, My speech therapist just went to the Kaufman seminar, and she said there were parents there, and that during lunch Ms. Kaufman " lunched " with the parents. I saw the handout from the course, and it did not look " over the top " . I wanted to go to the meeting on LI on 17th, but I'm due to give birth on the 14th, and decided it wasn't wise to plan to attend! I think it will be very managable to understand; some may be a little too " speech " oriented ( I don't know the signs/symbols for all the different a and e sounds for example), but overall, I'm sure it will be worthwhile.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Wendi- I am planning on attending the seminar on the 17th in Long Island. I just sent in my registration today. FYI -- the cost for parents is only $80!! I agree that some of it may " go over my head " but it seems like an opportunity not to be missed. I have heard such wonderful things about Kaufman that I am very eager to hear her speak. Maybe I'll see you there. Lynaugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I think I got a note about this from my sons ST at school.....and totally forgot about it. Do you have a link with the info?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 If anybody goes to this seminar. I think my son Logan is in her video demonstration. When he was evaluated by her last March, she asked if she could use him in her tape demonstration for her seminar. I would love to hear if he is Logan and he was sitting in her room with his twin sister Olivia. Olivia was a helpful tool for Logan to be responsive and was kind enough to let her in and we all saw how much more responsive Logan was with another child in the room, especially it being his twin sister. You may see my kids in her demos. Would love to hear if you see them for those who go to the seminar.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 To those in NJ thinking of going to Kaufman's seminar - GO!!!!! I went to a seminar she did here in IL a few years ago and she is informative, funny, encouraging, and amazing. In fact, as soon as the seminar was over, I contacted her to do an eval for Josh. Her eval was great, very thorough, very helpful, and, best of all, she is so respected by school districts that we had no problem getting more therapy for Josh once we had 's eval. So, by all means, if you can work it out with spouses or significant others or kidsitters watching your kids - GO!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 -Where in Saddle Brook? I might ask my mom to go for me. I used to work at the Saddle Brook Diner after I graduated from college! Does anyone know where to get the Kaufman Apraxia cards at a good price? -- In , " nne " <mariannebadolato@...> wrote: > > Hello All..I was just wondering, are any of you attending the Seminar > in Saddle Brook, NJ on October 12th?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I attended one of her seminars about 6 months ago. I really enjoyed it. She gave a lot of tips on working with apraxic children. Also, she makes a point of having lunch with all the moms in her class. That way the moms can ask specific questions about their kids. I think we had about 9 moms and she made sure to question every mom about their child. She had her workbooks and kits there for sale....I think they were at a discount. So, if you want to purchase one do it at her seminar. > > Hello All..I was just wondering, are any of you attending the Seminar > in Saddle Brook, NJ on October 12th?
