Kaufman Kit 1 and Workbook for sale

[Guest guest]

Our speech therapist just recently told me that she feels my son is now

past the Kaufman Kit 1. We had both the Kaufman Kit 1 and the Kaufman

Speech Praxis Workout Book which I worked with him at home. Since we

will not be using them, I would like to sell them together for $200 +

$10 shipping. If anyone is interested please e-mail me directly at

c3dem@.... Both are in great shape. The only thing I have done is

underline and highlight a couple of things in the text in the

workbook. These helped my son, hopefully they can help someone else.

Here are links to both of the items:

that is great news!!! Congratulations!!! How old is your son

now? Aren't the kits great? By the time years after I found out they were

available for home use back in the day (in 1999) Tanner too was on Kit

2 - past Kit 1. K is just brilliant!

Here's an article was interviewed for The Late Talker book for:

The Kaufman Approach for Any Late Talker ?

The Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment certainly can be used with any

late-talking child. says developer Kaufman: " In fact, by

employing these techniques, we can make a much clearer judgment as to

whether there is an apraxia of speech in quite young children or

whether we are merely looking at `neurological immaturity.' The

Kaufman approach assists children in attempting their best word

approximations when they can't produce complete words. By teaching

them that it is okay to say " wawa " for water, or " ba " for ball, or

" nana " for banana, they come to understand how to say words that they

may have been avoiding because they did not know how to simplify them.

It is quite common for late-talking children, after being introduced

to the Kaufman method, to move full steam ahead, developing more and

more " approximated " vocabulary. Then, they move into full, clear

vocabulary and begin to combine words independently without the need

for continued therapy. If they do not move ahead rapidly, it would be

appropriate to suspect that the child has apraxia.

Part of the Kaufman approach is the early establishment of a " core

vocabulary, " consisting of a few simple, functional words like " mama, "

" up, " " more, " and " me " that are practiced until they become part of

your child's " motor memory. " Core words are put into a notebook that

is practiced at home and incorporated into daily activities. The key

to treatment is repetition so that the learning of new speech sounds

becomes more automatic. There are kits explaining the Kaufman method

that can be used by professionals or by parents at home.
