My approach combines evidence-based practices with fun, interactive, functional activities. I always incorporate principles of motor learning in order to make our sessions as productive as possible. For children with severe CAS, or children with persistent vowel errors, I use DTTC. For children with mild-moderate CAS, I use ReST. I also ensure that clients and families have access to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) options, from paper-based communication boards to speech-generating devices, and everything in between.
As children become more confident and successful with therapy targets, I assign short home practice activities to help with generalization. I also like to support parents in embedding home practice into daily routines, so that practice can occur in natural environments. I want to empower parents to be as involved in therapy as they can, because they can provide crucial practice opportunities outside of therapy sessions that are very important for continued progress.
I use AAC to ease the frustration that many children with CAS feel when they are not understood. I have experience with low-tech, paper-based AAC options as well as high-tech speech-generating devices, and each AAC system is individualized based on client and family needs.
