Initially, I work to build a fun and trusting environment and relationship with the child. My treatment approach is motor-learning based and focuses on facilitating the accurate motor movements for speech production with multi-sensory cueing (verbal, visual, tactile). In therapy, we will use a small subset of target words comprised of a variety of syllable shapes (increasing the complexity as therapy progresses). I use a child-centered approach and adjust therapy targets as needed. I love to use motivating materials that help us to incorporate literacy, pragmatics, and language skills.
I’ve been highly interested in CAS since the start of my career. My interest peeked when I won a virtual ticket to attend the Apraxia Kids Conference. I received such valuable information that I was immediately able to use with my current clients. I continuously strive to support and advocate for my families and patients in the apraxia community.
Parent involvement is a vital key to the therapeutic process! I encourage parents to be active participants in the child’s plan of care, including observing, selecting functional targets & providing mentorship for home carryover. Each therapy session involves parent education on the multi-sensory cues provided, how the child is performing, how to elicit target practice in the home environment and what the next stage of therapy will look like. I love collaborating with the families throughout all stages of therapy!
I have utilized both high and low tech AAC for children with CAS to supplement communication needs. Decreasing the overall communication frustration & creating functional communication is key for the child’s success, so I have implemented other forms of communication for the family & child to use until verbal communication is more consistent. I am familiar with basic sign language, PECS, LAMP, TouchChat, & Proloquo2Go. I explain to families that the AAC system will not replace their child’s verbal communication but help augment verbal communication production.
