Developed by TalkTools Instructor and apraxia expert Renee Roy Hill, MS, CCC-SLP, the program uses three sets of tactile cueing tools to help clients feel precise articulator placement for targeted speech sounds, delivering a multisensory approach to apraxia treatment. Therapy Goals Transition clients with motor planning deficits from oral placement activities to speech sound production Provide tactile cueing for articulator placement during production of target sounds Combine tactile, verbal, and visual cues to create a multisensory approach to speech facilitation Support accurate placement of articulators for the following sounds: /m/, /p/, /b/, /oo/, /oh/, /ee/, /ih/, /eh/, /uh/, and /ah/ Build a reliable sensory-motor framework for independent speech production Key Benefits Developed by Renee Roy Hill, MS, CCC-SLP, a recognized TalkTools Instructor and apraxia specialist Provides tactile cueing that helps clients feel, not just hear or see, correct articulator placement Multisensory approach (tactile, verbal, and visual cues) supports diverse learners and motor profiles Three sets of tools cover a range of consonant and vowel targets for comprehensive program coverage Specifically designed to bridge the gap between oral placement activities and connected speech production Supported by a companion course for professionals seeking advanced clinical training Ideal for: Children and adults diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) or acquired apraxia of speech Clients with motor planning deficits who have completed foundational oral placement activities Speech-language pathologists seeking a structured, tactile-based apraxia treatment program Therapists trained in or pursuing the TalkTools sensory-motor approach to apraxia treatment Clinic, school-based, early intervention, and home therapy settings What's Included 3 x Sets of tactile cueing tools (covering /m/, /p/, /b/, /oo/, /oh/, /ee/, /ih/, /eh/, /uh/, and /ah/) Product Details Material BPA-free, food-safe material Safety BPA-free, latex-free Developed by Renee Roy Hill, MS, CCC-SLP, TalkTools Instructor Care Instructions Wash thoroughly before first use with warm water and mild soap Clean after each use with warm water and mild soap Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners Inspect before each use and replace any tool that shows signs of damage or deterioration Additional Resources Optimize the clinical use of this program by completing the live or online course "A Sensory-motor Approach to Apraxia of Speech," available through TalkTools professional training. Warning: Use with adult supervision at all times. Inspect each tool before every use and dispose of it properly at the first sign of damage or deterioration.
