I typically use a play-based treatment approach with my kids with CAS because I always want to ensure the child is enjoying speech and highly motivated. I utilize the Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol, Easy Does It for Apraxia, and K&K Sign to Talk during motivating play activities and provide reinforcement. Most of my kids on my caseload have autism. Working with autism and apraxia, it is crucial for me to work on language skills simultaneously with speech sound production. I make sure to choose activities that are highly motivating and functional to increase the child's attention span and desire to imitate target sounds/words. I establish which sounds the child can successfully produce and choose my target words based on placement of the sounds the child produces spontaneously and based on words that are important to the child. I select a few functional target words for each activity and utilize a multi-sensory treatment approach to establish a motor plan for these target words. I ensure there are opportunities for frequent and intensive practice of the target words. I provide feedback on results of the production of target sound/word for each trial. I incorporate AAC when needed such as sign language, PECS, or a high-tech SGD.
