Hello! I provide play-based intervention for children with CAS, developmental dysarthria, and myofunctional concerns. I utilize a holistic approach and work with families to determine the best treatment plan. Initial consultations consist of clinical observation and an oral motor examination to evaluate oral structures and how they may influence function. If needed, standardized testing may be conducted during the therapy process. I follow the PROMPT framework for CAS intervention in conjunction with myofunctional work as needed. For Gestalt Language Processors, I use the NLA framework and together with the family, we determine best treatment targets.
Parent involvement is critical for therapeutic success! I love for families to be involved in the therapy process. As a Hanen trained therapist, I strongly believe that parents play a key role in their child's journey. Depending on the child, homework is often provided and parents receive hands-on training to support their child's needs and/or video clips of therapy sessions.
I often use a multi-modal approach to language when communication is inhibited by motor speech deficits. I have children who use AAC systems to bridge language while we work on the motor speech needs; systems range from iPad systems (LAMP WFL, TouchChat HD) to PRC devices (Accent 800 or 1000), to lower tech systems such as PECS or bigMack switches.) I believe communication and language development need to be addressed at all levels, especially when a child enters into toddler stages and begins to formulate phrases. This helps so that when the motor system improves, the language has already been developed!
