My approach to therapy for a child with CAS mainly involves increasing successful communication and decreasing frustration for the child and their family. I believe supporting caregivers and providing them with tools to help facilitate meaningful interactions with their children is our number one goal as speech-language pathologists. I also encourage using a total communication approach in which we find ways to help a child to express themselves fully - whether it's through speaking, signing, gestures, devices, etc. - while simultaneously working toward more efficient motor planning for speech production and intelligibility.
