I will meet your child where they are. Often children have already learned how to avoid talking tasks because talking has been so challenging to date. I will determine what is easy and comfortable for your child and build from there. This will create a more motivating atmosphere for your child to feel successful. I am trained in a variety of approaches so will tailor cues and techniques for your individual child. My main goal is always for your child to have a successful communicative experience at every session. This ultimately will increase your child’s self-esteem and social connectedness with all whom they communicate with.
Parents are taught to value and reinforce their child's initiations to communicate. When a child has mastered a target form or word approximation parents are given ideas to use this form at home to promote more opportunities for communicative success with the newly mastered word form.
I offer my kids with CAS many forms of alternative communication at the start including: sign/gesture/picture symbols/PECS. We have an IPAD on sight with several communication systems installed though I don't usually use them. I've used the PA lending library with families in the past to explore AAC options.
