Re: using kaufman cards- help

[Guest guest]

Hi

My therapist uses the Kaufman cards with my daughter. She works from the front

to the back. From what I can gather the cards are already in the order that they

need to be in for our apraxic kids. My therapist explained how you move from

cvcv words with the same consonents like baby to cvcv with different consonents

like honey. It's best they master each level before they move on to the next.

Hope that helps.

figure it out? if he has trouble with one group- shall I move on to another

section..and try the previous at another time?
