The Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme

The Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme was developed by a team of clinicians at the Nuffield Hearing and Speech Centre in conjunction with the Nuffield Speech and Language Unit. Since it was first published in 1985, it has become a major resource used by speech and language therapists throughout the world for treating children who have verbal dyspraxia or other speech disorders.

The programme:

• Uses visual cues for each sound (for example, "d" is represented by a picture of a toy drum)

• Works in stages, starting with the production of single vowel and consonant sounds, and progressing on to consonant and vowel combinations

The Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme has been continuously updated and is now in its third edition, and can be ordered from Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme Limited.
