This study proposed to report the effect of improvement of reading relations and transfer of stimuli control on speech production of a child diagnosed with speech apraxia. The program "Learning to Read and Write in Small Steps®" was used. The activities were conducted in 22 sessions, in two weekly sessions of 30 minutes each. As result there was improvement in the correct responses percentage on speech production of the participant with different stimuli. The results corroborate the preview studies that speech outcome can be improved by strengthening the reading and writing network while addressing the equivalence relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
