Therapy will consist of short word lists with client specific targets. We will target the specific word list while providing additional production supports that are eventually faded. Initially, a child may benefit from simultaneously production of the words while we provide several cues (i.e. hand gestures, tactile cues, verbal feedback, etc). We work closely with the parent to be involved in learning the supports to help his/her child with home practice activities. Frequent repetition of the same motor movements, same word list, will ultimately support the child in establishing more accurate productions.
In several cases, a child may benefit from a communication device to help communicate wants/needs and ask questions. The device can be beneficial for some children with severe intelligibility challenges to find their voice and reduce communication breakdowns while working towards improved verbal communication.
We work with the parents closely to determine the best treatment for his/her child. In most situations, parents are present during the evaluation and sessions in order to take an active role. We would closely with parents to give them the confidence in providing support for home practice. We teach our parents the cues we are using and allow him/her to practice them during sessions in order for us to give feedback.
We have used picture exchange for some children as well as facilitating the application for funding of more high tech AAC devices. Using AAC for clients with CAS or suspected CAS has helped us to decrease a child's frustration associated with communication while being able to advance verbal communication skills.
