My therapy approach for CAS puts the individual child at the center of all of my planning. I want motivation and engagement to stay high throughout sessions, so I carefully plan targets to encourage maximum success and help increase functional communication. This starts by identifying skills that children already have, and then expanding to target a related skill that they have not yet mastered. I also see goal setting as collaborative with parents and caregivers--what are the key areas of difficulty at home and how can I use my knowledge and skills as an SLP to help troubleshoot those communication barriers and work towards easing struggles through our goals in sessions? Because CAS involves motor planning deficits, I aim for high repetition in sessions. Strategies such as shaping targets, using multi-sensory cueing and feedback, and providing opportunities for large numbers of repetitions are a large part of my treatment. I don't take a one-size-fits-all treatment approach because kids are so unique! In my 10 years of experience, I've found that a combination of methods and approaches is important to address the needs of each child. My practice also utilizes technology to help improve speech skills, and I work with a team of computer developers who have created games that allow for home practice in order for kids with intensive practice needs to engage more easily with home practice between sessions.
