I was trained by Dr. Megan Hodge in the Let’s Start Talking (LST) treatment program, at the University of Alberta, and I use her program as the basis for my treatment approach. I like to work with a child and their family 2 times per week; however, this can vary with the needs of the child and family. These sessions include play-based activities focusing on sounds, syllable shapes, and word combinations. I use an adapted version of the motor speech treatment hierarchy to determine what sounds, words, and word combinations to target in treatment. However, I believe it is important to take consideration of sounds that may be important for the child to say (e.g. sound is in his name, name of family pet) and targeting those sounds as well. I use the Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) approach to support the child in moving from imitation to spontaneous productions. I incorporate variable practice into each session to practice important skills such as prosody and rate while maintaining accurate motor movements to produce the sounds and words successfully. I include parent involvement in all sessions and some of each session is spent providing feedback and coaching to the parent on how to work with their child. I believe that speech practice is more successful when the child is having fun and I aspire for each session to be fun!
