My therapy for CAS is specifically tailored to each child's individual needs. I start with target words provided by the family and also generated from the sounds they are able to produce correctly. Each session focuses on building word shapes and patterns to relearn the motor plan. Simple, clear goals are targeted in high repetition during each session and multiple weekly sessions are strongly encouraged to maximize progress. Goals are adjusted as often as necessary. This therapy is play based and designed to be so engaging that the child doesn't notice how much practice they are actually doing. Ideally, the therapy is done using preferred toys or doing functional activities in the home or school to help improve functional communication.
I love for my parents to sit in on sessions to see how the sounds/motor patterns are built and targeted. I enlist parents to help generate functional and helpful communication phrases for their child and provide weekly targets to practice at home.
Pictures and visual for speech sound production are used frequently in each session to help support verbal cues. When necessary, a high tech AAC device can be used to help support verbal speech and provide a functional way for the child to express themselves while continuing work on their verbal expression.
