Parents are an integral part of a child's success and need to be a part of the therapy process. When a child has mastered a new sound or word in a therapy session, the SLP will work with the parents to ensure practice and carry-over at home. If a child is using sign language or a speech generating device in the therapy setting, the SLP will work with parents and caregivers to ensure that they have knowledge and confidence in using these methods at home. If a child responds to visual cues, the SLP will make sure parents have a way to learn and use these cues within their daily routines. Therapy sessions will begin and end with parent interactions, whether it be reflecting on how previous strategies have been working, or checking in on present challenges. These are examples of how the SLP and parents/caregivers work together so that children with CAS have a positive experience with communication.
