I hold a strong belief that therapy for children should center around following a child's lead, foster their motivations and preferences, with an overall goal to build confident and effective communicators. Additionally, I frequently incorporate sensory strategies (e.g. movement, tactile activities, etc.) into my sessions to achieve and maintain an optimum level of arousal for the child, in order to have highly productive sessions. Parent education and involvement is essential for the treatment of CAS, therefore, I strongly encourage parents and caregivers to be active participants in therapy sessions and carrying out home programs. When treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech, I typically utilize strategies from Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), which focuses on improving motor speech skills through a high level of strategic cueing, and gradually fading back cues as the child becomes more independent with targeted words. Target words are carefully considered and selected based on the child's current sound inventory, functionality and parent goals/input in order to increase functional communication and early success in therapy.
