Therapy for CAS should look very different from traditional speech therapy. Initially, therapy sessions will focus on a smaller set of speech targets that are very meaningful and useful for the child and the child’s family. We will aim to achieve a high number of productions of the target words (100-300) per session. Focus will be placed on accuracy of the movements for speech rather than the specific sounds. A multisensory approach including simultaneous speaking will be utilized to cue and prompt the child to achieve the correct movement patterns and will be faded or increased depending on the child's performance. Therapy will take into account the child’s sensory needs and interests and will incorporate play and/or motivating activities as a vehicle for practicing speech targets.
Parents are expected to attend therapy sessions and be an active participant. They will learn how to cue their child for correct speech, provide feedback, and how to facilitate daily practice with their child.
I have experience using both high tech and low tech AAC with pre-verbal kiddos. This allows them a means to communicate, while we simultaneously work on the child becoming an effective verbal communicator.
