I want to make the evaluation and therapy process as efficient and uncomplicated as possible. Typically I like to provide a free phone consultation to talk to parents and caregivers about their specific concerns. If an evaluation is deemed necessary, we will schedule a time, either in person or online, that works best for both parties. During the evaluation, I will gather background information and interests about the child. The parents will be provided information about CAS, what it is, and my treatment approach which will be motor based, as CAS is a motor based speech disorder. I will meet the child where they are at and build a solid foundation for production of various syllable shapes, vowels, intonation, and sounds. Each therapy session will be packed with fun activities the child will enjoy while practicing their specific, functional words repeatedly. I will stress practicing production of "Power Words" that help a child advocate for themselves including their name, "stop", "no", "help", "go", etc. The repetition is key to promote motor learning and generalization.
