My approach to therapy is very child-driven, while keeping the Principles of Motor Learning and current evidenced-based therapeutic approaches, such as DTTC, as the foundation of therapy. It is important that your child is engaged, motivated and excited to work on their speech targets! I love the challenge of finding personalized and creative ways to engage your child while also maximizing the amount of practice trials each session. Targets are selected based on your child’s comprehensive evaluation for differential diagnosis of CAS which includes a dynamic motor speech assessment and also family input. I use multi-sensory cueing, individualized for each child- whatever cues your child responds to best is what we use! I work closely with families so that the motor learning that occurs within the therapy setting is transferred and generalized across all environments. As a parent of two children with CAS, I understand our deep desire for our children to be able to communicate with us, and as an SLP, I am extremely motivated to provide our children the appropriate and individualized therapy they all need to find their voices and to be a support for their families, as well.
