K-SLP Kit 1 Objects are another great resource for your clinical toolbox! These tangible, whimsical and visually appealing items are aligned with the syllable shapes from the K-SLP Treatment Kit 1 cards. They can be used to practice speech motor syllable sequences and expand expressive and receptive language, matching, and generalizing skills.

Manipulating the objects gives children a greater sensory experience, increasing the likelihood of frequent verbal expressions that can be shaped to improve speech intelligibility, expressive vocabulary, and syntax. In addition, auditory comprehension activities can easily be incorporated into therapy sessions to give children many opportunities to improve their ability to follow directions while manipulating the objects.

While the set was created for use with the Treatment Kit 1 cards, the objects can also enhance and supplement any speech and language training program by providing hands-on materials to interact with in therapy sessions.

Target age: 3-8 years.
