Creating an individualized plan for each child is necessary. I work closely with every child to determine their current phonetic inventory, as it is important to determine what sounds are successful for the child. I generate a small specific set of words that will be practiced using a motor-planning approach and the principles of DTTC. I prioritize including the family and collaborate on what words will be functional and meaningful for their child. Depending on the child, I will incorporate other types of treatment approaches including using tactile prompting when needing (e.g., touching their face to help provide more input). When appropriate, I incorporate AAC communication within treatment to provide successful communication across all settings for my client.

I have completed DTTC training, PROMPT training, and LAMP AAC training which I incorporate into my therapy approach daily.
