I implement the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol in my therapy sessions. The K-SLP is rooted in the principles of motor learning to include: sign-to-talk as a bridge to communication for minimally vocal children, moving from single word utterances to phrases with the use of pivot phrases, and using untaught/novel words to ensure learning of syllable shapes. I work on five lists of words including syllable shapes, favorites, common nouns, manding (requesting) words and high frequency words. When targeting these lists, I temporarily simplify the motor plan of the targets until the child is ready to progress to the adult form of the word. I target these goals using gesture, visual, and tactile cues, strategic reinforcement, blocked to random practice, errorless teaching (cueing before failure), error correction, and mixed and varying tasks to avoid over-generalization. Other therapy methods would be considered and implemented as needed in therapy to best accommodate and treat the child's individual needs.
