My therapeutic approach is tailored to each child’s unique communication profile, prioritizing targets that will provide the most meaningful and functional impact in their current communication environment. I consider their current phonetic and syllable shape inventory as well as what they are stimulable for given visual, verbal, written, and tactile/kinesthetic cues. I not only assess their current inventory but I also examine their productions over various syllable shapes and sequences in increasing complexity to determine where the motor breakdown is occurring. Targets are then selected based on their current inventory, level of motor breakdown, what they are stimulable for, and what is meaningful to their current environment. In treatment, I utilize techniques and tenets of DTTC, P.R.O.M.P.T., and principles of motor learning to provide an eclectic approach rooted in play. I focus on consonant-vowel accuracy, accurate movement transitions and sequences, and increasing linguistic complexity over time as the child establishes movement accuracy and consistency. I also prioritize incorporating each target within various linguistic utterances via speech and/or AAC to communicate for a variety of purposes. My overall therapeutic approach is characterized by play and meaningful interactions. I focus on following the child’s lead and imbedding targets within play to foster both speech and language growth.
