My therapy sessions are dynamic and engaging. My intervention involves multi-sensory activities to support the movement and coordination of speech producers (e.g. muscles of respiration, lips, tongue) and subsequent production of speech sounds. I believe embedding a child's interests are paramount to their motivation and engagement which allows for ample repetitions of our identified targets. Target words and phrases are chosen based upon a child's interests, functionality to their day and sounds within their current speech sound inventory. I am direct and provide feedback on productions; however, I balance this with sensitivity to the social-emotional challenges that may be encountered as well and partner with families on their journey.
Parents are expected to observe and are asked to participate as they feel comfortable. This way they are able to see successful elicitation techniques, identify which targets are ready for home practice and celebrate wins with their child!
I am a supporter of robust AAC to not only support speech intelligibility but language and literacy acquisition. I have experience working with autistic children who have CAS when both speech and language are impacted. I create low tech communication boards for specific games, crafts as well as routines that are challenging for a child in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of a child’s communication thereby relieving frustration.
