My treatment approach involves intensive therapy centered around parents and family, or caregivers and teachers whenever possible. I utilize various programs or approaches that I have gained experience with over the years, and tailor it to what the child is able to do, or what the child needs. General therapy goals include increasing the child's phonetic inventory, syllable shapes, and use of functional language. An important component of speech therapy is to always challenge the child, but keep it within the child's range of success, increasing the level of complexity, while working within the limits of what the child is able to do. During sessions with the child, I use a multi sensory approach, providing feedback, and fading it when appropriate.
