Speech Praxis Experience at Kaufman

SPEAK is an intensive, three-week program with Nancy Kaufman to help kids with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) produce functional, expressive language. The program runs Monday through Friday. There are generally two sections available, on in July and a second in August.

The daily schedule for the 3-week program includes:

• One morning speech session with Nancy Kaufman
  (30 minutes)

• One morning speech session with another highly trained member of the SPEAK team
  (30 minutes)

• One afternoon group session with other children in the SPEAK program
  (60 minutes)

Please note that we would first need to determine if the child is a candidate for this approach, preferably via an in-person evaluation held at our center, or by video consultation.

During their time here at the KCC, many families choose to receive occupational therapy services as well (this would be an additional cost). Oftentimes, kids with apraxia of speech will benefit from oral-motor, fine-motor, and even sensory integration techniques. We will arrange an individualized schedule for each child during the time that you are here. Call (248) 737-3430 for more info.
