The therapy I provide is grounded in principles of motor learning, which means that it focuses on enhancing the coordination and control of the motor movements involved in speech production. Depending on the severity of your child's apraxia, my primary focus will likely be on practicing and reinforcing functional words and phrases. By concentrating on these essential communication building blocks, I aim to support your child's ability to express themselves effectively in a variety of settings. This approach is designed to not only strengthen their speech capabilities but also to foster their confidence and independence in daily interactions. Through consistent and tailored intervention, I strive to facilitate significant progress in your child's speech development and overall communication skills. Your child's age is also strongly considered and therapy activities are designed to be fun and developmentally appropriate. While many repetitions of targets are key to progress in CAS therapy, it is also important that your child enjoys speech therapy.
Active parental participation not only empowers parents to understand their child's specific needs but also allows parents to contribute to the selection of targets that align with their child's individual communication goals. As the expert in your own child, when you as a parent help choose targets, it guarantees that the targets chosen are used frequently and useful outside of the therapy setting. Because sessions at times take place without a parent present, home-activities will be provided and video portions of sessions will be shared in order to encourage carry over of skills between settings.
I believe that AAC is a powerful tool for kiddos with severe apraxia. AAC can allow children to experience autonomy over decision making and communication for maybe the first time. For children with severe apraxia, I have utilized high-tech AAC in order to empower them to use words to communicate their wants and needs.
