My approach to treatment of CAS is very collaborative with the family. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the child’s motor-speech production, which includes assessment of their oral-motor planning/production, articulation/phonological abilities, and spontaneous speech sound production during conversation. All of this allows us to be sure of the accurate diagnosis and best treatment approach for your child. Once we have established our goals for therapy, we work collaboratively to identify an early core vocabulary of words that will most help your child to be successful in daily communication (think: names of family/friends, favorite foods, toys, and important daily needs). I use a variety of evidence-based treatment methods to help your child acquire new sounds and increase their clarity of speech. Most importantly, I will get to know your child, their interests, their learning style, and their role within your family. I will tailor every therapy session to your child and family’s unique learning style and needs. We will continue to expand on your child’s repertoire of sounds and words, with ongoing home practice to help your child carryover new skills outside of the therapy room.
