My overall treatment approach is totally child centered and eclectic. There are many effective treatments available today but no one treatment is perfect for every child nor for every stage of treatment for a child. So I use what is appropriate for the child and the stage of therapy that is being treated. My treatment approach includes 1) different amounts and types of cueing as well as gradual withdrawing of cueing so that the child may become independent, 2) increasingly harder syllable shapes, phrases, and sentences, 3) teaching grammatical components as the child advances, and 4) coarticulation (blending sounds together to form flowing words and sentences) and prosody (the accent, intonation, pauses, volume, etc) from the earliest treatment all the way to the end. Commercial CAS Programs that I include as appropriate at Kaufman Praxis Kits, Speech Easy Apraxia Program, and Webber Mini Apraxia Cards. With children who are basically nonverbal, I also use Strand's Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing.
I require one parent, grandparent, or nanny to be present for therapy and be trained to help the child at home. I believe family involvement is extremely important.
No formal AAC is taught, but lots of written cues are used and gestures with speech (even speech approximations) are highly encouraged.
