Childhood apraxia of speech is scary and frustrating, not only for the child, but for his/her family as well. The good news is...there is hope! I know how to treat this disorder! I am here to help your child (and you) through this process. I will provide fun, interactive treatment to guide your child to successful communication. Your child will be engaged in intensive, yet rewarding practice to boost his/her confidence in speaking. We don't focus on games, toys, or play, but have fun learning how to move our lips, tongues, and jaws to make communication easier. Mom and dad...I need your help to make sure your child has consistent opportunities at home to use the skills that he/she learns in therapy. Together we can help your child go from silence to successful, functional communication.
Parents, your helps is needed to give your child every opportunity to use the skills that he/she learns in therapy. Positive reinforcement and encouragement are key! I don't give homework so that negative practice is not reinforced. All I ask is that you be your child's cheerleader through this process.
Your child needs to communicate. While verbal communication is just beginning, he/she needs a means of expressing his/her wants, needs, and ideas in a functional manner. AAC, whether an electronic device or printed pictures, is a useful means for your child to successfully communicate as his verbal skills improve. AAC will not take the place of verbal communication, but enhance it by given your child a "voice". AAC is useful when those frustrating moments arise where the child is unable to say what he/she wants. I encourage all attempts at verbal expression with use of AAC to make communication functional and less frustrating.
