Based on years of experience and research, The Kaufman Speech Praxis Test for Children (KSPT) is an innovative new resource that assists in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental apraxia (dyspraxia) of speech in preschool children. Developed by Nancy Kaufman, a national authority on verbal dyspraxia, the KSPT identifies the level of breakdown in a child's ability to speak so that treatment can be established and improvement tracked. Easy to administer and score, the test measures a child's imitative responses to the clinician, locates where the child's speech system is breaking down, and points to a systematic course of treatment. Results of the KSPT are useful beyond establishing an initial diagnosis. Gains in motor-speech proficiency can be measured and quantified in several ways. Individual sections of the test can be used to establish treatment goals and measure progress. "The Kaufman Speech Praxis Test for Children provides speech-language pathologists with a thorough and practical assessment protocol. The hierarchy of stimulus items offers effective guidelines for charting progress as well as implementing intervention programs. Clinicians will benefit from this material."—Lynn S. Bliss, Ph.D., CCC/SLP, Professor and Acting Chair, Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences, Wayne State University
