I use play-based methods in therapy for younger children and add in table top/more structured tasks as the child progresses in ability and maturity. I primarily use the PROMPT approach to analyze CAS. I am mindful of the purpose of speech—to communicate one’s thoughts and to build relationships with others. Therefore, I consider a child’s other needs (play, social, emotional, sensory, etc.) when coming up with a treatment plan. I utilize augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies to support the development of language while we work on improving speech function, if indicated.
