I first establish motivation by building rapport with a child. The way that I do this is by pairing myself with highly preferred toys and activities in the first few sessions. I use the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP), which is based upon principles of motor learning. My treatment procedures include using multisensory cues, fading cues gradually, errorless teaching (cueing before failure), error correction, and mixing and varying tasks to avoid overgeneralization. After I choose targets for a child based on their initial assessment, I use a multi-sensory approach to elicit those targets from a child. This may include using hand/gesture cues, explanation cues ("lips together"), and other verbal and visual cues throughout our sessions. As soon as I can, I start embedding targets into highly preferred play activities. This is to help the child maintain the motor plan of their speech targets in a functional way.
