Parents are integral to the therapy process for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). Here's how you are involved: Initial Assessment and Goal Setting: At the beginning, we collaborate to understand your child’s specific needs and set achievable goals. Your insights about your child's strengths, challenges, and communication needs are crucial. Observation and Participation: During therapy sessions, you are welcome to observe and sometimes participate. This helps you understand the techniques and strategies we use, so you can effectively support your child at home. Home Practice: We provide you with specific activities and exercises to practice with your child at home. Consistent practice is key to progress, and your involvement ensures that your child gets the necessary repetition and reinforcement outside of therapy sessions. Regular Updates and Feedback: We keep you informed about your child's progress through regular updates and discussions. We value your feedback and observations from home, which help us adjust and tailor our approach as needed. Training and Support: We offer training sessions for you to learn how to use cues, prompts, and reinforcement techniques effectively. We also provide resources and tools to help you feel confident in supporting your child’s speech practice. Problem Solving and Adjustments: If challenges arise, we work together to find solutions. Your insights help us understand what works best for your child and how to make adjustments to the therapy plan.
