Speech and language services for a child with CAS consists of high repetitions of target words during a structured or semi-structured task. I typically incorporate turn taking games to increase trials. I may also incorporate play based activities depending on the child's age and developmental level to facilitate engagement. During therapy, I use a variety of multimodal cues and prompts to facilitate accurate productions. I also work on prosody by incorporating different visual and models of varied intonation (e.g., happy voice, sad voice, etc.). I typically linking the words we are practicing to visuals or play during games to increase functionality and understanding of the vocabulary.
Parents are involved in my therapy process by receiving feedback and progress towards goals at the end of every session. Parents are aware of their child's target words and can practice them at home. Additionally, I will show parents what prompts or cues I am providing so that they can carry it over and practice in their home environment.
I have used both low tech and high tech AAC with my clients who have CAS to help them with communicating their wants and needs. I have utilized AAC in sessions during play and game activities by modeling functional words and phrases. I have also used it to provide visuals for the words that the child is verbally practicing. Utilizing and modeling AAC provides the child with a way to communicate when unable to be understood.
