In a typical therapy session for a child with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), I create a fun and lively environment that motivates your child to try new sounds and words. I emphasize attention to my mouth, modeling each sound clearly so your child can see how speech is formed. For example, we might play a game or use songs, turning practice into something playful rather than a chore. I focus on the speech skills that will make the biggest difference, offering plenty of encouragement along the way. I also guide you on strategies to use at home, so your child can continue practicing, build confidence, and experience success every day.
Parents play a key role in supporting their child’s progress. I involve parents by explaining each child’s goals, demonstrating therapy techniques, and coaching them on ways to practice skills at home. Parents are encouraged to observe sessions, ask questions, and participate in activities so they can reinforce speech and language targets in daily routines. I also provide regular updates on progress and suggestions for at-home practice, helping parents feel confident in supporting their child’s communication development.
For children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), I have used both low-tech and high-tech AAC tools to support communication. Low-tech options include picture cards, communication boards, and gesture systems to help children express needs and participate in conversation. High-tech tools may include speech-generating devices or apps on tablets that provide spoken output when a child selects symbols or types words. AAC is used as a bridge to support language development, reduce frustration, and encourage verbal attempts, while still targeting speech goals in therapy.
