Apraxia Bundle: https://bit.ly/3o1RbZp
Key Points:
Do extend interactions
Do practice joint problem solving
Do practice playful obstruction
Don’t model words you choose before a session starts (instead, follow the child’s lead)
Don’t hide/mask too many of the words (make sure there are plenty of words to choose from - in most cases)
Don’t just model requesting - do work on comments and negation (and more pragmatic functions)
