When treating a child with CAS or suspected CAS, the focus of treatment is movement. In order to achieve this goal, I rely on the Principles of Motor Learning and apply them to the child at their level. Targets are carefully selected. Practice conditions are varied to achieve correct productions of those targets. For example, multisensory cues are given to produce those targets and then faded to help the child become independent. Feedback is also varied as therapy progresses.

Children learn and retain information best when they are having fun! Play facilitates a child’s cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development. Repetition is an important part of therapy, and all children are more engaged in practice when they are able to participate in preferred activities.
