I follow the ‘Let’s Start Talking’ and ‘Let’s Talk Clearly’ programs developed by Dr. Megan Hodge at the University of Alberta. Both provide a framework for assessment and treatment of children with severe speech disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech and dysarthria. Treatment is tailored to the specific needs of each child and family. Other treatment approaches are used when appropriate (i.e. ReST, Speech Motor Chaining).
Completed the Apraxia Kids Intensive Training (Apraxia Bootcamp) in 2014. Instructor for the Apraxia Kids Advanced Training in Alberta, Canada in 2018. Instructor for the Apraxia Kids Intensive Training in 2020/2021 and 2023. Provide mentorship support and training for SLPs in Alberta, Canada.
Parents/Caregivers are an integral part of the intervention team. I schedule time for parent-only sessions to discuss various topics including background information about CAS, treatment goals, progress and home practice strategies.
I incorporate low tech AAC as needed.
