I follow motor learning principles for all of my clients and utilize a combination of approaches, tailored to each child. I incorporate a variety of cueing systems including Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and select target words/phrases that are most functional for each client. I choose sounds the child is already able to produce to build core words and phrases that are important to the family using reinforcement that is of interest to the child. My goal is independent production of functional words as quickly as possible. I do my best to keep therapy fun while pushing the child to work as hard as possible. I pay close attention to the child's needs in the session and ensure the child ends the session feeling confident.
My therapy sessions are typically conducted in the child's home. I encourage parents to be involved in all sessions! We create target word lists that are functional for the child and family and we work together to see how/where target words can be used throughout the day when the therapist is not in the home.
I have extensive experience in using PODD books (low tech) for preschool and school age children with CAS. I have also used Core Boards within the classroom and speech therapy setting as well as iPads (proloquo2go) to aid communication in all areas.
