See and Learn Speech Complete Bundle 4+

See and Learn Speech is an evidence-based program designed to help children with Down syndrome develop clearer speech.

See and Learn Speech is designed to teach young children to hear and produce speech sounds (phonemes), to hear the differences between sounds (discrimination), to develop their speech sound system (phonology), and to produce clear speech. It can also help children to identify sounds in words (phonological awareness) which is important for reading.

See and Learn Speech is based on what is understood about how typically developing children learn to say words and what we know about the speech difficulties of children with Down syndrome. Speech and language development are inextricably linked and improving speech skills should benefit word and sentence learning and using spoken language to communicate.

See and Learn Speech offers a structured approach to support speech development, working in small steps towards clearer speech production and practicing skills including:

• becoming familiar with speech sounds - storing sounds in the memory system
• discriminating between speech sounds - hearing the differences between sounds
• producing speech sounds - individual sounds and simple combinations
• saying words - saying words that begin with a particular sound
