EESAPP: Early Echoic Skills Assessment and Program Planner – Set (2nd Edition)

The EESAPP: 2nd Edition is a unique assessment tool and program planning resource for anyone responsible for teaching early speech skills, regardless of a learner’s age. The EESAPP focuses on evaluating and developing the ability to echo, or repeat, what is heard. Why is this important? Because strong echoic skills can support and fast-track the acquisition of other spoken language skills, in contexts that are often more powerful and useful for communication, like asking for things, commenting on one’s environment, and having conversations. So, for early or fledgling speakers, a robust foundation in being able to repeat a language model can lead to more effective spoken interactions. The EESAPP Guide and Protocol together form a combination textbook, echoic skills assessment, program planning guide, and materials resource. Throughout, a behavioral training approach is explained, so users can design fun (reinforcing) and effective speech-language programs for their learners. The EESAPP
