Therapy with me is structured but playful, always tailored to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether your child is just learning to use their voice or working on combining sounds into words and phrases, we build from their current strengths. My treatment protocol incorporates the principles of motor learning to support lasting improvement in speech. Therapy emphasizes speech movements and syllable shapes, uses cues and prompts, addresses prosody, and provides the right kind of feedback to help your child grow confident and successful in their communication. I focus on functional, meaningful speech targets that matter in your child’s world. Specific approaches I draw from include DTTC, PROMPT, Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol, and play-based models like DIR/Floortime. We might use bubbles, cars, pretend food, board games, or whatever your child is currently interested in. I believe when therapy feels fun, kids are more willing to work hard. Even though it may look like play, every moment is intentionally structured to support the motor planning and practice that children with CAS need.
