At The Speech Clinic, the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) is used to support children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), speech sound disorders, and expressive language delays. Our therapists focus on shaping speech-motor skills by working with the child's existing consonants, vowels, and syllable structures, gradually guiding them toward clearer, more coordinated speech. Using structured cueing techniques, repetition, and reinforcement, we help children build a strong speech foundation. This approach not only improves speech clarity but also enhances functional communication and social interactions. At The Speech Clinic, K-SLP is tailored to each child's unique abilities, ensuring steady progress toward confident, effective verbal communication.
