Supporting children with Speech Sounds
I absolutely love supporting children through their speech sound journey, and recognise that children may need help with more than just speech sounds. I aim to empower parents and those working with a child throughout therapy. I am able to work with children who are experiencing:
CAS (Childhood Apraxia of Speech) and motor speech difficulties
Phonological Delay/Disorder
Articulation Difficulties
Speech sound difficulties related to other diagnoses such as Cleft Lip and Palate
I am trained and/or familiar with the following therapies:
PROMPT , DTTC(Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing ), Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme, Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment
Phonological therapies such as Cycles, the Complexity Approach and Minimal Pairs.
Core Vocabulary Therapy, primarily used for children who are producing a high number of words inconsistently
Traditional Articulation Therapy for children who need help to produce a sound in isolation. This may include children who use active nasal fricatives and frontal/lateral lisps.
Makaton, Signalong and picture based communication alternatives to support children to communicate
