Seminar Details

This material is designed to help make decisions about vowel training in clients with very low intelligibility; SLPs have to figure out for themselves what to do with clients such as these, and that means that we have to make up our own methods. Based on decades of clinical observations and experimentation, Pam reveals how children can become significantly more intelligible when the focus of speech-language treatment shifts from the consonants to vowels in apraxia and dysarthria.

Excellent for both student and professional speech-language pathologists. Can be used with parents and other team members in training seminars.

“I love how Marshalla breaks down the vowels! Focus on the vowels is the KEY to intelligibility — I never knew that until now!”
— Barbara Gill, SLP
