Depending on their level of severity, I incorporate the principals of motor learning to help select a small number of stimuli, providing a high number of opportunities each session. Therapy focuses on helping the child achieve the movements necessary for correct sequencing of sounds. I aim to maximize the number of cued productions to increase success. My stimuli are selected based on syllable shape, vowel content and functional vocabulary. I utilize DTTC methods to aid the child's productions. I also work with families to problem solve how AAC can be incorporated to decrease the child's frustration. I help educate parents to understand the diagnosis and how intensive treatment is key to success.

Our clinicians use evidence based practice to effectively diagnose and treat motor planning disorders such as Apraxia of Speech. Our goal is to provide a clear diagnostic picture that informs the selection of highly individualized and meaningful treatment plan goals. Parents are encouraged to observe sessions and contribute to the selection of therapy targets.
