What is your approach to therapy?
My approach to therapy is best described as child- directed. That doesn't always mean I do exactly what the child wants, but rather each session is tailored to the individual child's interest and specific needs. My therapy is very play-based and fun following the principles from both Hannen and Dr. Greenspan's Dir/Floortime model. As much as possible I follow the child's lead while gently guiding them in my direction and constantly bombarding them with speech and language addressing their needs.
My general approach is quite eclectic pulling things from many different models to best fit each child. Sessions oftne include oral motor activities, literature activities, multi-sensory activities (such as bean box, massage, or textured blocks), games, hands on activities, songs, puzzles, crafts, and phonemic awareness activities, just to name a few things. It is amazing how much speech and language can be addressed just with a little playdoh or a few puppets (or through a game of Connect Four or Jenga for the older kids)!
