Download reproducible Materials Book resources. Tyler Turtle and friends lead multisensory, systematic therapy activities for preschoolers with speech difficulties. The comprehensive program emphasizes sound sequencing and building sound and syllable complexity. Easy Does It for Apraxia Preschool is for children who are nonverbal or have unintelligible speech with age-appropriate receptive skills, have inconsistent error patterns, show no progress with traditional therapy approaches, demonstrate motor-planning deficits for speech, lose intelligibility at the sentence level, and have increased errors when using complex phonetic combinations. The program is organized around six treatment levels or goals. Each treatment level is divided into sequential objectives and include detailed, step-by-step therapy suggestions and activities for each objective. The program uses multisensory teaching with action and play-based activities and includes forms, sample lesson plans, and word, phrase, and sentence lists. Student activity pages can be copied as well as picture cards, hand signal cards, worksheets, and activities featuring Tyler Turtle and friends. Experienced and beginning clinicians will appreciate the detailed explanation of therapy techniques, systematic lesson plans, clear goals and objectives, and student practice activities and materials.
