TalkTools® Apraxia Program
The TalkTools Apraxia Program is a structured speech therapy program designed to transition clients with motor planning deficits from Oral Placement Therapy activities into functional speech production. 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
- 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
- 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
- 3 x Sets of tactile cueing tools (covering /m/, /p/, /b/, /oo/, /oh/, /ee/, /ih/, /eh/, /uh/, and /ah/)
