Through education about CAS and training in their child’s goals and speech targets, parents become a vital part of my therapy process. I feel that parents are essential to the therapy process, especially to ensure generalization of motor planning skills across a variety of settings. I believe it is essential that therapy goals are integrated into the child’s everyday life, and in order to accomplish this, parents must be educated about how to best support their child with his or her speech and language development outside of a therapy setting. I provide parents with specific and relevant suggestions to help them incorporate strategies into daily activities, such as toys to use during play in order to encourage the child to practice specific sounds and ways to incorporate target words into everyday routines (i.e. bath time, meal times, etc.).
