My CAS therapy sessions are based on the principles of motor learning and the most current evidence-based practice. Therapy sessions are play-based, fun and multi-sensory to maximize learning and engagement. Programs and tools used differ depending on the severity and the unique needs of each child but typically include Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), PROMPT, visual and physical cues, hand gestures, etc. Target words/phrases are carefully selected to reflect the child’s abilities, interest, needs and family input. There is strong evidence by recent studies that suggest frequent therapy sessions with high number of practice trials yield the most progress. We strive to elicit more than 60 repetitions per 30-min session, however, for young children with CAS, producing the target word/phrase requires intense focus and effort, and to repeat them is extremely demanding. Those intense practice trials are strategically embedded into the fun and engaging activities selected by the child. The bursts of these intense trials are rewarded by the fun activities that make the “hard work” worthwhile. By providing a safe and encouraging environment, I strive to help each child develop the their communication skills and the self-confidence they need to reach their highest potential.
