Apraxia assessment, treatment and therapy is highly child and family centered. Parents and I work together to determine joint goals to facilitate the best outcomes for their child. We start therapy by determining what consonants/vowels, syllable shapes and movement transitions your child has in their repertoire and determine FUNCTIONAL targets from there. I use a variety of evidence based cueing strategies (DTTC) to elicit movement transitions and facilitate new speech motor patterns. AAC is also used from the onset of therapy if needed to support a "whole-communication" approach to language acquisition. I also provide extensive parent education and assist parents in becoming confident in helping their child with strategies and techniques to facilitate generalization outside of the clinic. I am also a fierce advocate for my clients and will work with all of the members of your child's team to facilitate motor speech, language and social communication goals.
Parents are an integral part of my therapy process for CAS.
I initiate AAC use at the onset of therapy. I strongly believe a "whole-communication" approach to language and speech acquisition. It is incredibly important that your child is able to communicate their wants and needs with you with reduced frustration. I find immediate use of AAC (if warranted) reduces frustration and increases communication confidence.
