From my experience, I have learned that no two children present identically, but that all children require a genuine relationship with their clinician. After evaluation, my initial targets are to get to know the child and family and establish a fun and trusting environment. I love to be the giver of all good things in therapy. There's nothing better than seeing a kid who is excited about coming to speech and enters the room with a smile! During this time, I provide information regarding the principles of motor planning and how the parents can help their child become an effective communicator. Having had a child with CAS, I've been the parent in the therapy room and the clinician. It can be a tough path, but there's always a silver-lining. I have completed education in DTTC, PROMPT, and ReST. I also love all things neuroscience and have completed many hours of training in executive capacities. I use a variety of these techniques during treatment in a play-based setting.
