Speech-Language Therapy
B Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy (US)
M Early Childhood Intervention (MECI) (UP)
My Approach
1. I aim to follow a family-centered approach, where family members are viewed as partners in the intervention process. The team, therefore, consists of myself, family members, and other professionals, where necessary.
2. Authentic assessments are conducted at the practice, where
children’s interests and motivations are taken into account and parents/caregivers are involved during evaluations.
