My treatment sessions contain fun, multi-modality strategies and activities. I use a variety of methods to promote motor planning: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing(DTTC), Kaufman approach, PROMPT techniques, and Dave Hammer’s multi-sensory approach. Depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the child’s speech skills, I start with what they are successful with and build intelligible speech from there. We start slow with vowel productions, simple syllable shapes, and functional words. I always begin with a Core Vocabulary Book to highlight meaningful and functional words we can practice. We also practice power phrases (“yes/no, help, I want, I see, I need”) as soon as possible to decrease frustration. Once the child has more syllable shapes, we start combining those to produce meaningful words and phrases. Additionally, I use AAC devices and/or sign language to help give the child a mode of communication when verbal productions are challenging. In all, I build trust with the client and families, offering support and resources to understand a CAS diagnosis, and try to make something really challenging, fun and functional.
