Therapy where it works best for you
Services can take place at your house, in the community (i.e. library, park, etc.), or at your child's daycare or preschool. Providing services in a child's natural environment will help with generalization and carryover of skills. It also lends the opportunity to provide parents and caregivers specific routines based coaching. This empowers caregivers to understand how to best help their child's skills grow.

Steps to services
Speech Therapy and Parent Coaching
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) therapy
What is CAS?
CAS is a speech sound disorder due to difficulty with planning and programming movement sequences, resulting in speech prosody and sound production errors. This means that although a child with CAS may know what they want to say, their mouth may not move the way it needs to in order to say words clearly. Therefore, therapy should focus on the movement of the articulators in a variety of syllable shapes rather than individual sounds. Isabella implements evidence-based motor speech therapy for kiddos with CAS or suspected CAS.
