In speech therapy, my primary objective is to foster functional communication skills for each child. Therapy sessions are designed with a strong emphasis on individual interests, to make sure the child is engaged and motivated. The speech targets that are selected are based on both the child's abilities and areas of weakness, and functional words are chosen that are relevant to the child's everyday life. Guided by the principles of motor learning, therapy integrates visual, verbal, and tactile cues to facilitate learning and retention. These cues fade out as the child progresses in order to encourage independent productions. Sessions begin with a motor phoneme warm-up and mass practice is used throughout the session for skill reinforcement. I firmly believe in maintaining open and regular communication with both the child’s family and the therapeutic team, recognizing their vital role in the treatment journey. Sharing treatment targets with the family and team, and outlining strategies for carrying over these targets at home, forms an integral part of our comprehensive treatment plan.
