My overall treatment approach is designed specifically to meet the needs of each individual. I start with establishing behavioral expectations using a variety of gross motor imitation tasks in which a child can experience success quickly. It also gives me a foundation to build on in which positive reinforcement can be provided. I move as quickly as possible to verbal communication tasks using a variety of cueing strategies- visual, verbal, tactile, PROMPTs, to build functional vocabulary and communication skills that can be used across environments. I work with my clients to build a sound repertoire and variety of word shapes while incorporating principals of motor learning through more randomized trials. As my clients increase their verbal skills, I monitor for potential co-morbid conditions to address as needed.
