Therapy would start with an evaluation, which consists of parent interview, play-based interactions with the child, standardized assessment (mainly looking at picture books and answering questions), and a speech assessment (the child says different words with me). A therapy session would consist of working on up to 8 different words for several repetitions of each word. I utilize highly-prized reinforcers after every 5-10 repetitions (depending on the child and that the child picks out). Ideally, I would want to see children 2-3x/week to improve their motor speech movements. Some children are seen 1x/week as they receive therapy in schools or early intervention. If a child has another SLP that is involved in their care, I will request the parent to fill out a Release of Information in order for me to talk with the other SLP.
During the word selection process, I always take into consideration any words that the parents really want their child to say. I will also ask that parents attend the therapy sessions, while remaining quiet, so that they can listen on what the child is saying and also any feedback that I provide to the child.
I have utilized use of communication boards or picture symbols with younger children to aid verbal expression. For high tech AAC, I am familiar with devices from Proloque2go, Tobii-Dynavox, and Talk to Me Technologies. I have been the primary SLP on the purchase of high tech devices for several children.
