I generally follow the guidelines of the Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing treatment model and principles of motor learning. With most children, I chose a very small number of functional targets to work on initially. I use a multi-sensory treatment approach to help the child with movement sequences for those targets. I ALWAYS ensure the child watches my face before attempting to imitate a target. If the child is unsuccessful with imitation, I use simultaneous production to help them follow the movement sequence along with me. The targets are practiced with a high frequency throughout speech sessions and parents and caregivers are given specific words to work on throughout he week and the strategies and techniques that were effective. I also incorporate prosody activities early on, even with children with minimal language. We target pitch, loudness, lexical stress and syllable stress.
