01 Mar CONGRATULATIONS KRISTA SIMON, MA, CCC-SLP, Reg. CASLPO!
Congratulations to Krista Simon, MA, CCC-SLP, Reg. CASLPO, for graduating from the Apraxia Kids Intensive Training Institute (Apraxia Boot Camp)!
Krista is the Co-Owner of Achieve Therapy Centre, a multi-disciplinary pediatric clinic in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Krista received a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from SUNY in Buffalo in 2005. She has had the opportunity to work with many different populations from infants to the elderly. Krista embraces a team approach to therapy in which the parents play an integral role in the therapy sessions. Krista provides individual speech-language therapy as well as joint therapy with an occupational therapist.
Krista offers services in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Apraxia Kids: What are the top 3 things you learned from this training experience?
Krista: 1) The importance of the Principles of Motor Learning! 2) Research – read it, even if you feel intimidated. 3) The importance of advocating for CAS with other professionals.
Apraxia Kids: How did the boot camp experience change or expand your network of colleagues/friends?
Krista: I was lucky to have a small group of fellow Canadian SLPs to work with throughout boot camp. We met together during the development of our case studies and sent numerous emails to bounce ideas off each other. This is a great group to be a part of and I will continue to seek them out in the future.
Apraxia Kids: How have you implemented the knowledge you gained at boot camp?
Krista: I have been able to directly implement my knowledge in my own therapy sessions as well as used my knowledge to help other SLPs on my clinic team while observing their sessions with CAS kiddos.
Apraxia Kids: What is an example of how you have been able to (or plan to) use your expertise as a local resource/support for other professionals and/or families since attending the intensive training?
Krista: I have been sharing as much knowledge about PMLs with my clinic’s SLP team as I can. I want more SLPs to feel comfortable using PMLs to make their sessions more effective.
Apraxia Kids: What would you say to someone considering applying to boot camp next round?
Krista: It is a serious time commitment! More than you would expect. You will learn more than you ever thought possible about CAS though!
