I would summarize my overall treatment approach in three words: evidence-based, child-led, and joyful. First and foremost, it is incredibly important to me to build a trusting and positive relationship with my clients and their families. I recognize that each child has their own, unique set of strengths, interests, and motivations, and I use these to set us up for successful sessions! DTTC and the principles of motor learning are the backbone of my treatment of CAS. I typically target a small number of words (2-5 words, usually) and aim for a high number of trials. I start with "blocked" practice (lots of repetitions of one word before moving on to the next) and then move to "random" practice to promote carryover and generalization. I pay close attention to the level of cueing and feedback I am providing, starting with specific feedback and cues, and fading over time. I employ a combination of visual cues, tactile cues, verbal placement cues, and verbal models. I always make sure that my therapy sessions are happy and fun – while at the same time working to challenge my students and build their confidence.
