Easy Does It® for Apraxia and Motor Planning

Ages: 4-12
Grades: PreK-7

The athletic theme of this program captures student interest and complements extensive, systematic activities for apraxia and challenging speech disorders.

Experienced and beginning clinicians love the Easy Does It series for its:

• detailed explanation of therapy techniques
• systematic lesson plans

Easy Does It for Apraxia and Motor Planning is for students who:

• don't show progress with traditional therapy approaches
• demonstrate motor-planning deficits for speech
• lose intelligibility at the sentence level

The program has six treatment levels. Each treatment level is divided into sequential objectives. There are detailed, step-by-step therapy suggestions and activities for each objective. The treatment levels are:

1. consistent production of vowel sequences and isolated consonants
2. combine consonants and vowels to form words
3. produce consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words
4. produce multisyllabic words
5. produce phrases and sentences
6. produce consonant blends in words
