With every child I work with, my first goal is to develop a trusting relationship. This is done through play based interventions and rapport building activities. All treatment is individualized, meeting the child at their ability level. The goal of treatment should be personalized, functional and engaging. During treatment, I use a high repetition of meaningful and functional stimuli, while offering fun play based therapy. I use many cues to aid in child's success rate, but will fade these prompts as intelligibly increases. I focus on using two evidence based practices: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and Rapid Syllable Transition Training (ReST).
For the past 19 years, I have worked with pediatrics through adults in the medical and school settings. I have been active in continuing my education yearly focusing on motor speech disorders. Not only am I passionate about this from a therapy standpoint, I am also passionate about apraxia treatment from a personal standpoint. I am a mother to a child with autism and a comorbidity of apraxia.
Since apraxia involves intensive treatment, I encourage parents to be involved in the treatment as well. I consider parents/ caregivers as an integral part of my therapy process from evaluation to treatment planning and implementation. Parents are given practice targets with strategies, activities, and/or videos to assist in successful home practice/carryover.
I have many years of experience using low tech and high tech AAC. I have used PECS, core boards, go talk as low tech devices for children. I have also used LAMP, Touch Chat, Proloquo2go, Snap Core First, and PODD as high tech devices. Not only am I familiar with all of these devices, my son has used 4 of them throughout the years.
