Description
TalkTools® Apraxia Tools
The TalkTools® Apraxia Tools provide a multisensory approach to the m, p, and b phonemes, combining tactile and proprioceptive input to support motor planning and speech sound production for clients with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and related motor speech disorders. Available individually as Tubes, Shapes, or Blocks, or as a Complete Program with instructional videos for full clinical implementation.
Therapy Goals
- Provide multisensory tactile and proprioceptive input to facilitate motor planning and sequencing for bilabial phoneme production.
- Build muscle memory and consistent motor patterns for the m, p, and b speech sounds through structured, graded tool use.
- Facilitate sensory awareness of lip and jaw positioning and movement during targeted bilabial phoneme practice.
- Support treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and developmental dyspraxia through sensory-motor hierarchies.
- Develop volitional, consistent control of bilabial sounds for functional speech production across contexts.
Key Benefits
- Multisensory design: addresses the m, p, and b phonemes through tactile, proprioceptive, and visual channels simultaneously.
- Flexible formats: available as individual tool sets (Tubes, Shapes, Blocks) or as a Complete Program with clinical instructional videos.
- Structured hierarchy: the Complete Program provides clinical guidance for SLP-led implementation.
- Flexible purchasing options: therapists can acquire individual components or the full program as needed.
- Wide clinical applicability: suitable for children and adults across a range of motor speech diagnoses and ability levels.
