I work closely with the families and children to pick target words or movement patterns that will lead to functional and meaningful changes for the child's speech. I structure therapy sessions to follow principles of motor learning - eliciting ample practice of selected words in engaging activities, giving multi-modal direct and specific feedback on a child's production, and moving dynamically up/down the cueing hierarchy. I also target varied rates of speech and prosody during sessions to allow for more varied and natural speech production.
I get great joy out of working with children with apraxia and their families. Family involvement in therapy choices and carryover activities is critical for success. For new clients and/or younger children, parents are encouraged to observe therapy sessions and ask questions so they can feel comfortable practicing at home between sessions. If parents do not sit in on a session, session feedback and specific ideas for homework are discussed with them following each treatment session.
I have used low-tech, high-tech, or a mix of both during my sessions as needed to help a child be an effective communicator.
