I believe that the most important aspect of any treatment approach is to make certain child feels successful and empowered. Developing a rapport and establishing a positive relationship with him or her is just as important as the actual treatment. My personal approach to working with children with CAS is to begin by an assessment of phoneme repertoire through therapist directed play. Through this, I am also able to develop a rapport with children. After I assess what sounds are in his or her repertoire, I create a list of simple CVCV and CV words with those sounds only. Once the child feels successful with these productions, we incorporate new patterns. I introduce drill cards using the K-SLP kit after I've determined that the child is ready for this type of drill work. I "ease" them into it with lots of encouragement and tangible rewards. This approach has worked well for years and years, but I'm always continuing to read and research any new methods that are being presented! There is no "one size fits all" program for children with CAS, and each child is always a little bit different.
