My approach to the treatment of CAS is both multi-sensory and based heavily in the principles of motor learning. Borrowing from multiple approaches to the treatment of CAS, I design my therapy approach to best meet the needs of the client. With experience in Dynamic Tactile and Temporal cueing (DTTC), Rapid Syllable Transition Training (ReST) program, the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP), and PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) cueing techniques, I am able to build an intervention program that will support each child in the achievement of his/her therapy goals.

With strong foundations in functional intervention, my focus is on designing therapeutic programs that address both the child’s motor programming needs while simultaneously building his/her language and communication skills. Understanding how and why a child communicates and identifying where communicative barriers may exist are key considerations in my intervention planning. With parental support, we will develop goals that are not only motorically based but also meaningful and relevant to the child.

For children requiring additional support, my practice is rich with assessment and intervention programs designed to assess and target a range of speech, language, literacy, and social communication needs. My families are able to access comprehensive literacy and language assessments followed by programs developed to enhance oral and written language development, vocabulary skills, literacy development, phonological awareness skills, and social communication functioning.
