When it comes down to it, relationships and human connection are the foundation of daily life. This person-centered approach is woven into my service delivery. By first establishing a strong and trusted connection, I am better able to truly connect with your child to be able to provide the intensive therapy that is needed for meaningful progress. I focus on meeting your child right where they are, incorporating their unique interests and needs, and delivering high-quality evidence based therapy. When it comes to evaluating and treating childhood apraxia of speech, evidence and experience shows that these children need specific, individualized approaches to address their underlying motor planning difficulties and make gains. This means using the right approach, having flexibility, and working hard. Therapy will incorporate principles of motor learning and evidence-based approaches for apraxia (e.g. Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) that treat the underlying motor planning issues that are contributing to your child’s difficulties with speech. Target selection and feedback is highly intentional, and your child is at the center of the process. This is a dynamic approach with teamwork, problem solving, and an emphasis on optimizing engagement and connection.
