My overall treatment approach is tailored to each individual. However, I have extensive background in principles of behavior and motor learning and use a multi-sensory approach, including PROMPT and discreet trials of gross motor imitation so that the child can experience success initially. In addition, my initial phases include a focus on functional communication. For instance, gross motor imitation tasks may include practicing a head nod for yes and/or pointing skills if they are also lacking. We move as quickly as possible from gross motor imitation to oral and vocal imitation so we can begin to develop a sound repertoire and elicit wordshapes, such as CV or VC, with more randomized practice in accordance with motor learning theory. As the child becomes more verbal and intelligibility increases, I also make it a point to address any linguistic and executive functioning issues which are common in children with resolving CAS, such as language processing or reading deficits.
