I strongly advocate for meaningful communication and believe that therapy should always be fun, positive and engaging while using evidence-based treatment methods. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific needs and interests of my clients. In the initial stages of the therapeutic process, I determine my client's individualized needs through formal and informal assessment, client and parent input as well as clinical observations. Once we collaboratively determine our goals, we often embed a multisensory cueing approach. Specific methodologies implemented include: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, PROMPT, chaining and the cycles approach. I often implement a variety of methodologies and adjust the approach as the individual progresses through therapy. We may target syllable shapes of various consonant-vowel configurations, phonemic repertoire, mean length of utterances, rate and prosody, coarticulatory transitions between sounds and syllables and production of multisyllabic words. Positive reinforcement and use of preferred interests are important in increasing motivation to communicate. If the individual would benefit from an alternative means of communication, I may also integrate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) while continuing to target verbal speech production. I currently hold a LAMP certification through The Center of AAC and Autism and am a PROMPT-trained clinician. I was admitted to the 2020 Apraxia Kids Intensive Training Boot Camp.
