Re: Nuffield Program - appropriate way to treat axpraxia?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am in the UK - my son has autism and verbal dyspraxia. We use the Nuffield

system ( found this before Prompt- which is brilliant as well). THe Nuffield

system really helps my son as it gives a visual symbol to represent the sound he

needs to make. eg for O there is an octopus and for Oh there is a fish with its

mouth letting out bubbles. So if i am asking him to say toe i would show the t

card(tap) and the OH card.another eg to help him say four i show the f card

(feather) and oar card(oar). I love Prompt although there are very few trained

therapists here -so if i was you i would stick with it, but dont disregard the

nuffield stuff - we are definately able to use both systems .

Good luck

I didn't realize this was the " Nuffield " method but I used something similar

with my son and it really is great. I still use the visual cues that matched

the cards to help my son remember to make certain sounds when he leaves them

out.

Hi,

I am also in the UK and have an appointment with a private SALT who has

experience in talk tools and Nuffield. I as interested in finding out about

Prompt but did not know that there were any therapists over here - do you have

any information?
