I provide neurodiversity affirming treatment including: -child-led play, -using child’s interests to support motivation, for participation, - focus on connection, -honor all forms of communication. I will meet a child where they’re at developmentally to create total communication goals to develop gestures, facial expressions, and words that empower a child to have successful interactions with the most important people in their lives. I incorporate strategies of DTTC (watch my body/mouth and do as I do) within the context of songs, books, and sensory play. Learning always occurs in an environment of trust and fun! Ongoing Parent education and coaching is a very important part of my philosophy for generalization and motor learning.
Parents attend the sessions with their child. I encourage parents to be involved and enthusiastic. I ask parents to report on what happened at home between sessions and invite questions and feedback to problem-solve together. Parents are better experts on their child than clinicians, even if we have more knowledge about CAS.
I frequently incorporate the use of visuals in sessions and will work with families to better understand their child’s individual profile including sensory differences, motor abilities, and communication capacities to best choose AAC so the child can attend, engage, and interact for longer intervals.
