Kaufman Speech Praxis Test
"I like that this test provides a functional pattern where the client is producing and their breakdown. It's an assessment so my clients like the simplicity of how it's administered."
"This is a thorough test! It doesn’t take very long to administer and gives some great information. Plus you can use it to track progress."
"I used my KSPT yesterday and it's the best tool for analyzing speech production in a hierarchy of sounds, starting with the easiest and progressing through the complex. This test breaks it down and really gives you good data for diagnosis and appraisal, and for planning intervention."
"I love the test and use it for progress measures for not only my apraxic students but others as well. So many contexts to hear!"
"I really like the Kaufman Test as it gives you a good starting point in therapy (where their speech breaks down)."
"LOVE it. I use the Kaufman Test on a regular basis to qualify those children who are receptively at or above age range but are minimally verbal ages 2 and older."
"I recommend the Kaufman Test. Very detailed. Provides good info."

"We love the KSPT!"
"The Kaufman Test has worked great for me."

"Kaufman breaks down the test beautifully with assessment in multiple areas of motor speech function."

Author
Since 1979, Nancy R. Kaufman, M.A. CCC-SLP, has dedicated herself to establishing the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP), a treatment approach to help children become effective vocal communicators. The K-SLP has evolved over the years to include the most current research in childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), motor learning, and applied behavior analysis (ABA), and its methods and materials are used by speech-language pathologists worldwide. In addition, many ABA specialists have adopted the K-SLP for children with autism spectrum disorders.
Nancy lectures locally, nationally, and internationally on the subject of CAS and other speech sound disorders in children. Families from around the country and the world travel to the Kaufman Children's Center for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor, and Autism Treatment, Inc (KCC) in West Bloomfield, Michigan to participate in intensive, specialized therapy programs. The KCC continues to grow, offering renowned speech, language, occupational therapy, sensory integration, and applied behavior analysis (ABA).
Nancy served on the Professional Advisory Council for Apraxia Kids and in addition, served on the Board of Visitors Of Wayne State University's Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute for Child and Family Development. She is the speech-language pathologist consultant for the Parish School and Carruth Center in Houston, Texas, and for the Suburban Speech Center in Short Hills, New Jersey, providing a new consulting opportunity for other small groups of speech and language pathologists known as Therapy Notes from Nancy.
Nancy has been honored by both of her alma maters: she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Wayne State University in 2015 and the Outstanding Alumni Award from Michigan State University in 2010. She was awarded the Michigan Speech-Language-Hearing Association (MSHA) Distinguished Service Award in 2011 and the West Bloomfield Township Chamber of Commerce Community Excellence Business Person of the Year Award in 2015. She was also recognized by the Lawrence Technological University Leaders & Innovators program. The KCC has received MSHA's Clinical Service Award and Corp! Magazine's Best of Michigan Business Award. Nancy has three grown children and resides with her husband in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
