In our practice we use several approaches for treatment of childhood apraxia of speech and other motor speech disorders. Some commonly used approaches during speech therapy are PROMPT and DTTC. While both effective in treating communication disorders, differentiating between the two can get confusing. Both techniques use cues, or hints, in order to get the desired word or sound produced. We create fun and engaging activities for each child to facilitate success and promote opportunities to learn.
Parents are an integral part of our therapy process. Parents know their child the best and therefore it is so important that the clinician and parents work together to ensure the client's success. Parent training is imperative to facilitate generalization of strategies across different environments.
AAC both high and low tech can be a great tool for children with CAS. It is in no way replacing their verbal language, however it can provide additional support for verbal speech so your child has access to multiple modalities to communicate. I have used high tech AAC as a cue or model for the child to practice speech. I have also used low tech AAC to facilitate understanding of specific language concepts during activities (kitchen/food items) as well as easing the language demands during activities to limit frustration during sessions.
