I use a variety of techniques to support children with Apraxia. Some methods I use frequently are PROMPT, Oral Placement Therapy, DTTC and LST. I tailor treatment approaches to the specific child and what is most impactful for the child. Treatment is always play based and builds off the child's interest, as I firmly believe children learn best when they are having fun.
Parents are usually present when I'm working with kids. I encourage parents to participate in games or play activities. I teach parents some PROMPTs or cues they can use at home with their child. We discuss target words and activities where we can fit in target word practice in natural activities.
I have used a variety of AAC options (low and high tech) with children with CAS. I always support the use of AAC to support the child's ability to express themselves while we work on the motor speech portion. I often find that giving the child a way to communicate helps to reduce frustration and verbal speech ends up coming more quickly. I have used low tech options such as core boards, PODD books and high tech options such as dedicated devices or iPads with a variety of software on them. I always look for a robust vocabulary so that the children have the ability to say as much as they may want to.
