Hello! My approach is first and foremost focused on building a connection with both your child and family, so that speech therapy feels safe, fun, and engaging. Once we establish what your child's specific speech needs are and activities your child enjoys, I will carefully select target words that allow your child to meaningfully participate in parts of their day that are the most important to them. I actively involve principles of motor learning by giving multi-modal direct and specific feedback on your child's productions, and moving dynamically up/down the cueing hierarchy. I use a warm and highly engaging approach to always follow your child's lead and incorporate their interests whenever possible.
Parents are a very important part of the therapy process! Because my sessions often happen in-home, parents are encouraged to watch and be involved during the session. This helps parents to feel confident carrying over skills during the rest of the week.
I have used a variety of low tech and high tech AAC with my clients with CAS, including core words boards and high tech AAC apps such as Proloquo2Go, LAMP, TouchChat, and TD Snap. AAC can be a great tool to decrease frustration, increase communication, and practice higher level language concepts. Children will always use what is easiest for them, so often as their verbal language increases we see a decrease in AAC use. However, it is still an important tool in their communication toolbox!
