1. Move from BASIC to more COMPLEX speech movements.
2. Determine the consonant(s) and vowel(s) the child already has in their phonetic inventory to build meaningful communication.
3. Ask Parents to list important words in the child's life (eg.names of siblings, pets, favorite foods, Grandparent's special names, teachers...)
4. Build meaningful speech based upon the child's sounds he/she can already produce.
5. Use a variety of cueing techniques involving multi-sensory tactile cues (I do NOT subscribe to just one approach eg. Prompt cues)
6. Use parents as co-therapists to work at home on the movement sequences addressed in therapy.
7. Incorporate language goals into therapy program as the child's speech production abilities improve.
8. Monitor, address and incorporate pre-literacy skills (phonological awareness goals) as the child improves and approaches this developmental level.
I see parents at the end of EVERY single therapy session for 5 minutes to incorporate home activities as a way of carrying over what was worked on in each session.
Very limited amount of AAC work in my practice. In my previous life (30 years ago), I worked strictly with non-speaking individuals and designed communication boards and some AAC devices
