• Disordered Prosody and Articulation in Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech by Amy Meredith Ph.D. CCC-SLP (http://www.apraxia-kids.org/library/disordered-prosody-and-articulation-in-children-with-childhood-apraxia-of-speech/)

• Qualifying for speech therapy services does not necessarily depend solely on 'academic performance'. A letter from the Department of Education in 1980 and a second letter in 2007 clearly state that children can qualify for services with no impact on academics - 'educational performance' cannot be limited to showing of discrepancies in age/grade performance in academic subject-matter area. If their communication disorder impacts oral participation in class, social or emotional development or even potential employment opportunities, they can be served.

  Stuttering

  (all links in the section on stuttering were last updated February 14, 2018)

  Past International Stuttering Awareness Day Online Conferences are freely available and contain much valuable information and therapy ideas.

  The following section is designed to provide materials, readings, and approaches to assessment and therapy for speech-language pathologists who work with people who stutter. It is not to be considered a 'recipe book' to stuttering therapy, but contains resources which may be adaptable to specific clients. It is more extensive than other therapy sections because I have been building this information personally since 1998. Previously it was part of the Stuttering Home Page (www.stutteringhomepage.com), but it was too difficult to continue to maintain the information in two different places so it has been integrated here. If others have materials they would like to share, please contact Judy Kuster

  • Qualifying for speech therapy services does not necessarily depend solely on 'academic performance'. A letter from the Department of Education in 1980 and a second letter in 2007 clearly state that children can qualify for services with no impact on academics - 'educational performance' cannot be limited to showing of discrepancies in age/grade performance in academic subject-matter area. If their communication disorder impacts oral participation in class, social or emotional development or even potential employment opportunities, they can be served. Ana Paula Mumy developed a Teacher Questionnaire: Nonacademic Adverse Effect of Speech Impairment on Educational Performance for students who stutter.
  • Developmental Reading Assessment information for using the DRA for children with stuttering or speech sound disorders
  • Childhood Fluency Disorders from ASHA includes information about stuttering plus assessment and treatment information.
  Fluency Assessment and Intervention Module written by Rita Thurman and edited by Perry Flynn - a huge and impressive resource!

  Pictures and Clipart

  (updated December 27, 2017)
  • Many wonder where they can find 'pictures' on the Internet that can be used to make their own therapy materials. One way is to use the Image Search function on various search engines. Although many are copyrighted and should not be used to add graphics to commercial products or to web pages without permission, they can be used for personal teaching purposes.
  • Developing materials and activities with clip art
    • One Cut Book (www.raftbayarea.org/readpdf?isid=510) - instructions how to make a one-cut book.
    • PocketMod - a template for a personal organizer one-cut book. Many options for calendars, writing guides, organizers, games, etc.
      Samples of one-cut books
      • Several one-cut books (www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster2/onecutbooks/onecutbooks.html) created by Judy Kuster's students

  • PowerPoint and most word processing programs have clipart files. There is also clipart software that you can purchase. However, there are also many sites on the internet that have a lot of pictures that could be adapted for therapy materials if you want to download some of the free gifs/jpegs and print it out. The Tutorial on how to download clipart (http://webclipart.about.com/od/tutorialshelp/l/blhelp7.htm). is helpful if you don't know how to do this. Adding graphics to a word document (in the newer word programs) is as easy as word processing. Some sites to check out:
