My treatment approach is based on each child's individual skills and ability. Early in therapy, I consider the child's consonant and vowel inventory, current syllable shapes, current vocabulary and information from the family regarding the child's preferences and needs to develop a small group of targets to work on in our sessions. I recommend more frequent, shorter sessions, but work with the patient and family with scheduling based on their needs as well. I vary the level of cueing depending on the child's needs.
Parents/Caregivers are consistently involved in each treatment session. They take part in treatment activities. I involve parents and caregivers in discussion to help in the development of target word lists and activities that will motivate his/her child. Parents/Caregivers demonstrate strategies in our sessions and are given specific home practice. I continuously have open conversation with parents and caregivers about progress, struggles, etc.
I utilize gestures in conjunction with speech production from the beginning. Depending on the child, I have implemented use of picture systems to assist with communication. I have had the experience of working with two patients who use speech generating devices to assist their communication. I use parent/caregiver input in the decision making process for AAC as well.
