Description
Pam's second material on childhood apraxia presents a deep perspective on speech sound development. Using a month-by-month developmental framework, Pam describes how to nurture sound development in children who have great difficulty learning to make sounds and speech. She integrates information from articulation, phonology, oral-motor, and infant vocal development into a comprehensive plan of treatment. This material will help you understand how to help the child make a wider variety of consonants, vowels, syllables and words, and to become more intelligible. The CD's contain Pam's full five-hour seminar. Techniques are appropriate for children of all ages.
- Three CD's (five hours) of Pam's lecture material (When you order the SET)

The Seven Stages of Phoneme Development
- Preparing - getting the voice ready for speech
- Speechifying - making utterances sound speech-like
- Honing - zeroing-in on non-vocalic consonants differentiated by place
- Oscillating - incorporating reciprocating oral movements
- Solidifying - establishing basic syllable constructions
- Advancing - leaping beyond simple syllable constructions
- Finishing - adding clusters and stridency at all levels of speech
A Special Note to Parents
Pam has written this book and recorded this lecture material in such a way that you will be able to follow it. However, she recommends that before you dig into this rather detailed material you read her earlier best-seller Becoming Verbal with Childhood Apraxia described above.

Apraxia Books
06.21.07 Can you tell me how your books "Becoming Verbal with Childhood Apraxia" and "Apraxia Uncovered, The Seven Stages of Phoneme Development " are different? Which one should I read first?
- Think of Becoming Verbal with Childhood Apraxia as Part 1. It is about how to get kids more vocal, verbal, communicative, imitative and interactive, and how to get them to play with the sounds they make. Read it first.
- Think of Apraxia Uncovered, The Seven Stages of Phoneme Development as Part 2. It is about how sound develops over time - from the vocalizations of the infant to the sophisticated consonant and vowel sequences of the three-year-old. Read it or listen to the recorded seminar second.
Recent Feedback
"I would like to personally thank Pam for her help with our autistic son, Christophe. He is currently an 8-year-old non-verbal autistic. Everyone at his school had pretty much given up hope on him being able to speak. After I read your book and listened to the audio Apraxia Uncovered, I have started to work on his ability to make sound. He is doing GREAT! Already he is walking around the house, making more noise and saying some audible words. I know that it is going to take a lot of hard work on both of our parts but I KNOW that eventually he will be able to speak and lose the non-verbal part of his diagnosis.
Thanks for making the process easy to understand and teach!"

"I am sooooo pleased at the improvement in my awareness and understanding of speech sound development since listening over and over to your Apraxia Uncovered program."

"Your Apraxia Uncovered program has been a big asset to my therapy tools. The breakdown of each stage has helped clarify progress that is being made that I may not have recognized previously, e.g. listening for prolongation. It is helping me set more appropriate goals as well. It's making this slow process of speech development more encouraging for the families too!"

"I found your CD seminar Apraxia Uncovered to be extremely powerful in my understanding of apraxia and how to better treat my young students experiencing speech motor planning issues."
