I begin with an assessment to determine your child’s current skill level and identify area for growth. I work with parents to identify a list of target words that would be functional and motivating for the child to be able to produce and begin by choosing about 5 to start with. Therapy is started with chunked blocks of practice on each of the rods chosen. I use quick motivating activities to keep my child engaged, and ones that might lend themselves to functional use of the target word we are addressing if possible. I provide varying levels of cueing while working on each target word to ensure most accurate productions are elicited to support the child’s success and eventual independence producing that word. I love to have parents observe and participate in the therapy session as able in order to facilitate increased confidence in carrying over home planning activities to work towards generalization of target words.
