For a child with CAS, therapy often begins with building rapport with my clients. This involves discovering what their likes/dislikes are as well as their interests. I like to utilize this information to plan highly engaging and motivating activities that target functional communication goals. I also like to begin with goals that will provide them with early success to build their confidence when communicating with others. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches to ensure a child has the most success in generalizing their new skills outside of the speech therapy session and also have experience in alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) assessment and implementation to provide a means for functional communication in cases of severe childhood apraxia of speech.
I have worked to provide education about childhood apraxia of speech in multidisciplinary settings to families and other healthcare professionals.
Parents are involved in helping to establish functional therapy targets to give the client the most "bang for their buck". This ensures we are working on speech production that is incredibly practical for the individual client.
I have gained experience using AAC systems (both low and high tech) that are also based on the same principles of speech therapy for children with apraxia (principles of motor learning). This ensures the use of evidence-based practice and the highest success outcomes for children with apraxia of speech.
