Here at Rise & Shine Therapy, LLC, we provide neurodiverse affirming, equitable, innovative, and strengths-based services. We focus on the whole child’s needs through building strong connections and rapport with both the child and their families. We believe collaboration is key to successful learning outcomes. When evaluating and treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), we focus on implementation and teaching of the principals of motor learning. This helps your child plan and coordinate the movements needed for talking. We will practice saying words, sounds, and syllables in ways that are functional and meaningful for your child. We use a lot of repetition, multisensory cues, to guide speech movements, gradually helping your child say words more accurately and independently. We also work on rhythm, stress, and timing in speech, because these are often challenging for children with CAS. Sessions are creative, playful, and rooted in relationships/rapport, evidence-based practices, individualized therapy approaches, collaboration, and family-centered inclusion. Our goal is to help your child communicate successfully in everyday situations, not just during therapy to ensure they are given an equal opportunity to communicate and learn.
