Overall Treatment Approach:

I help children become comfortable and confident communicators. It is important to choose sounds and movements that will help the child feel successful early in therapy, so I work closely with families to find targets that are used in their daily routine and based on the child's interests. The words that are used are the ones that are practiced--even better if they can be practiced in play. My intervention methods include Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), PROMPT, ReST, successive approximations, and play-based intervention.

Parent Involvement:

I began practicing in Early Intervention, which uses a model of routines-based intervention and parent coaching. Therapy is a small fraction of the child's week, so it is crucial to involve parents. Once your child produces a pattern consistently enough in therapy, I work with your family to develop strategies for practice and carryover in daily life. We also collaborate with other professionals (e.g. dentists, occupational therapists, ENTs, etc.) to get the full picture of your child's needs and how best to support them.

AAC Use/Implementation Expertise:

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is an important part of the journey for many of the children I work with (both with and without apraxia of speech). Children have a world of ideas to express, and the more they express their ideas, the more others interact with them. The type of AAC depends on the child--ranging from single page communication boards to high-tech voice output devices (e.g. LAMP words for life, TD Snap, Proloquo2Go, etc.). I start by presuming competence, learning more about the child's interests, and giving lots of opportunities for them to learn and share. I train parents on how to use AAC to encourage communication and support the child’s speech goals.
