=for Children =

 The //KSPT// assists in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental apraxia (dyspraxia) of speech in preschool children. The //KSPT// identifies the level of breakdown in a child’s ability to speak in order to establish treatment and track improvement. Easy to administer and score, the test helps measure a child’s imitative responses to the clinician, locates where the child’s speech system is breaking down, and points to a systematic course of treatment. Results of the //KSPT// are useful beyond establishing an initial diagnosis. Measure and quantify gains in motor-speech several ways. Individual sections of the test help the clinician establish treatment goals and measure progress. Use//KSPT// results to generate goals for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). This assessment tool is critical for speech-language pathologists who work with children in public schools, hospitals, universities, and private practice.
