As an SLP, I believe it is important to create a trusting and supportive environment for the client and the family. In treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech, I start by building rapport, trust, and comfort with my client. As I work with the client and their caregivers, I will focus on sounds and words based on their sound inventory (sounds they are producing and not producing), and function words that are important to the families. Sessions will use a variety of techniques to tackle the goals for the client and the family. These techniques include principles of Motor Learning and Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC). These will focus on lots of practice! This practice will include shaping and moving gestures while also increasing steps of difficulty in syllable shaping and words including imitation, repetition, simultaneous production, and spontaneous production with varying prosody and inflections. All of this will include feedback and support on the productions.
