Children can expect therapy to be dynamic, highly focused, and repetitive, all while engaging in motivating activities designed to maximize practice trials—essential for developing flexibility in their speech motor system. Tools used in sessions may include items like game pieces, stickers, dot markers, beads, Legos, magnets, and clickers. Cues will be provided to ensure the child’s success and accurate production of sounds. As the child becomes more accurate, the intensity and frequency of cues will gradually decrease. Practice targets will always be functional and meaningful to the child and their family.
Parents play a key role in identifying functional and meaningful target words for their child. Homework will be assigned once the child can spontaneously produce these targets with minimal cues. Parents will be trained to provide visual, tactile, placement, and verbal cues, and to model slowed-down speech alongside their child. They are also encouraged to incorporate singing to help improve prosody. Using plenty of positive reinforcement and constructive feedback is essential to support the child’s progress.
I have used AAC as supplemental tool for the child to communicate their needs thoughts and ideas when their speech is not an effective or reliable mode for communication. I have used it as a temporary tool to reduce frustration during communication breakdowns.
