I provide individualized, evidence-based therapy for clients with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and adult apraxia of speech (AOS), integrating principles of motor learning, movement coordination, and speech consistency. My bilingual English-Mandarin background allows me to strategically plan treatment to maximize cross-language generalization and target speech patterns across languages.
I have experience working with children from pre-school to school age as well as adults, and I tailor therapy activities to match each client’s unique strengths, needs, and developmental stage. Therapy is highly interactive, often incorporating visuals, tactile cues, mirrors, gesture-based supports, and coarticulation strategies to help clients understand and practice correct tongue positioning and sound sequences. I also dynamically adjust tasks in real-time to maintain engagement and ensure optimal learning at each session.
I view parents as essential partners in therapy. I provide education and coaching to help parents continue practice at home, particularly for CAS-targeted words and motor sequences. This collaboration ensures that therapy gains are reinforced outside of sessions and promotes consistency and generalization of speech skills. I am happy to support parents in understanding therapy principles, implementing practice strategies, and tracking progress.
As a fully registered service provider for Communication Assistance for Youth and Adults (CAYA) in BC, I have extensive training and access to a wide range of AAC tools and resources. I integrate AAC thoughtfully into therapy to support functional communication while concurrently targeting speech goals. AAC is used to facilitate communication, reduce frustration, and provide a bridge for language expression, especially for clients with limited verbal output, without compromising the focus on motor-speech skill development.
