V3 Talk Tools is pleased to introduce Apraxia Shapes and Tubes—specialised therapy tools designed to support children and individuals who experience difficulty planning, coordinating, and producing speech movements.
Speech production requires precise coordination of the lips, jaw, tongue, breath, and voice. For individuals with apraxia of speech, knowing what they want to say may not be enough; the brain may have difficulty planning and sequencing the movements needed to produce clear speech. Apraxia Shapes and Tubes provide tactile, visual, and sensory cues that can help make these movements easier to understand and practise under the guidance of a qualified speech-language pathologist.
Use under professional guidance
Every individual with apraxia has different strengths and
challenges. Therefore, these tools should be introduced and used under the
direction of a qualified speech-language pathologist or other appropriately
trained professional.
