I have a separate course, Treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech; A Practical Guide
Learn more about my Apraxia courseLET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
I'm Alonna Bondar
I am a PROMPT certified pediatric speech language pathologist with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in apraxia and other speech sound disorders. I enjoy working with children with various diagnoses, especially those with down syndrome and autism.
Early on in my career as speech language pathologist, there were some children that were not making appropriate progress utilizing a language based therapy approach. I began researching other treatment methods and realized that childhood apraxia of speech was the underlying issue. Therefore, these children needed a motor based speech approach.
Over the years I have worked with countless clients with CAS and trained dozens of SLPs. It became apparent that it was difficult for therapists to find a course that is easy to understand, engaging, and fully prepares them to work with CAS clients.
I am passionate about CAS education and teaching clinicians effective ways to target their Apraxia therapy goals.
"Alonna does it again! This course is speech therapy GOLD! If you have ever wondered how to use toys to do play-based speech therapy with children with apraxia od speech – or any speech sound disorders, really – then this is the course you NEED to take.
Alonna takes play to the next level by showing you SO MANY original ways to customize toys and materials to your client’s goals and interests. She shares how to get high repetitions of targets during play-based activities that are engaging and fun! I walked away with so many new ideas to use with my caseload. And, as someone who has been doing this type of therapy myself for a while, that says a whole lot!
I also have to mention the incredible “power word” document she created that comes with this course. It’s everything every SLP wishes they had. Alonna broke down common target words BY SOUND and then gave you all the toy and activity recommendations to target that specific word. It’s an incredible resource that saves you time coming up with activities."
-Suzanne Aldrich, SLP @playingspeech
"Toys and Tools in Apraxia is a treasure trove of ideas for incorporating speech sound work into an array of toys, books and digital resources. A fabulous resource-run-through for new clinicians, with fresh ideas for experienced SLPs as well, Alonna’s course is clearly presented, the modules are thoughtfully sequenced and the suggestions immediately actionable. The course features many videos showing the toys and tools in actual therapy. Thoughtful target selection and lots of repetition are key ingredients in therapy for speech sound disorders in general, and apraxia therapy in particular. Toys and Tools in Apraxia and the power word document that accompanies it are helpful and practical guides for clinicians wishing to bring these ingredients to life."
-Tali Kellerstein, S-LP (C) @thespeakboutique
"Alonna Bondar's Toys and Tools in Apraxia Therapy online course is outstanding! As a clinician practicing for over a decade, and specializing in Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), I appreciate how rich this course is in terms of organization, thoroughness, resources, and applicable/functional examples and tools. Each of the 16 modules following the introduction provided a deep dive into a topic. The skills she shares regarding the integration of play and practice (both physical and virtual sites and apps) to meet client goals can easily be generalized to children on your early language development caseload without a CAS diagnosis. This course would be a game-changer for early-career SLPs and clinical fellows, and still has training and resources that can help polish a more seasoned SLP’s practice. Alonna has developed a course with tremendous value that enables pediatric SLPs to make their sessions more playfully engaging, effective, and successful."
