My therapy strategies include getting to know a child's personality, what is important or interests them and their families, and incorporating that into the treatment plan. Treatment targets are selected with input from the child's caregivers, the child (if old enough), and teachers to ensure targets are as functional as possible. Treatment sessions are play-based so I am often on the floor or up moving around the room for kids under the age of 10 years. I use principals of motor learning and use DTTC strategies to reach treatment targets.
I am newer to the treatment area of apraxia but it is an area of deep interest to me and I find it highly rewarding to help children be better able to communicate with others. I have been accepted to complete the advanced DTTC course but that has been postponed multiple times due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. I have also been able to consult with multiple school SLPs in two different school districts regarding best treatment methods and diagnostic methods and tools.
They help select treatment targets and implement a functional home program when the child is ready to move to more generalized practice settings.
I have worked with trialing devices for young children with CAS while also working on introducing skills needed to use DTTC strategies in sessions, such as looking at my mouth and imitation.
