The goal for my sessions is to first and foremost foster an environment where a child feels comfortable to be themselves. I believe a warm, welcoming environment that builds the child’s trust is one of the most important aspects to beginning speech therapy. Each of my sessions are individualized to help the child build upon their skills. I incorporate evidence-based treatment strategies including Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) into my sessions. I use a multi-sensory approach, as well as following the principles of motor learning. When necessary, I implement the use of low and high-tech AAC devices. One of the most important aspects to my session is parent involvement. When parents are involved, the most progress is made. I believe in parent education, and walking through this journey together, as a team. I choose targets based on where the child is currently functioning, and factor in words that will be the most powerful for the child to begin learning.
