I have 33 years experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist and have been specializing in Childhood Apraxia of Speech for the past 15 years. I offer sessions that incorporate motor learning principles to help children improve their motor planning for speech in the context of functional and meaningful words and phrases so that they can communicate to the best of their ability. I use multisensory cuing, fun and engaging activities based on your child's interests, and follow the model of Dynamic Temporal Tactile Cuing (DTTC) to support the best outcomes for my students.
I encourage parents to attend speech sessions with their child. Targets are selected with parent input to ensure they are functional and motivating for your child. When your child is successful with a target using certain strategies I will teach you those strategies so that your child can have success with that target at home and in the community.
Augmentative and Alternative communication may be introduced or encouraged in order to maximize your child's communication potential, reduce frustration and increase motivation to communicate. This may include high tech apps, topic boards or picture schedules.
