NACD Home Speech Therapist’s “Speech Therapy for Apraxia”
The National Association for Child Development (NACD) is proud to announce the re-release of our acclaimed “Speech Therapy for Apraxia” app.
“Speech Therapy for Apraxia” is a successful tool that has been used by parents, individuals, and speech therapists to develop or improve speakers’ articulation and motor planning. Targeted speech therapy can now be utilized on a regular and even daily basis right within your home. Frequent application fulfills one of the basic requirements needed to trigger neuroplasticity and produce real change.
“Speech Therapy for Apraxia” is designed for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech/dyspraxia and adults with apraxia. This app provides choices of different phonemes to target and moves through a progression of eight levels that challenge and develop motor planning for speech.
Daily targeted intervention is the key to advancement, and as so many have already discovered, this app is the tool designed to do just that. It is easy enough for an individual or parent to use and progress through on their own and customizable as needed for speech therapists.
In keeping with the mission of NACD, we are providing this app at an extremely affordable price. We wish to make this great tool available for everyone.
