Parent involvement is essential in CAS. No one knows your child better than you. Together, we select target words that are functional in your home and motivating to your child. I think parent education is important – as a mom, I always want to understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’. I model cueing strategies and I provide parents with word lists to continue to target at home, so your child can make maximal gains. Living in a rural state, I have several families that spend hours on the road each week coming to our clinic. I have always had a deep appreciation for the effort CAS families put into their children’s speech therapy.
