My Approach To Speech Therapy

My approach to speech therapy is patient-specific, focusing on the individual needs and goals of each client. I believe that every person is unique, so I take the time to assess their specific challenges, strengths, and communication preferences. This allows me to create a customized therapy plan that is both effective and engaging. Whether addressing speech delays, language difficulties, or social communication skills, I use a variety of techniques tailored to the person’s age, abilities, and interests. My goal is to empower each individual to communicate with confidence and clarity, while ensuring the therapy process feels supportive and relevant to their life.

What A Speech Therapy Session Looks Like With Kenslee

A speech therapy session is designed to be a supportive and engaging experience tailored to your specific needs. When you first arrive, we’ll start by briefly discussing how you’ve been feeling about your speech and language progress, any challenges you've encountered, and your goals. Then, we'll dive into activities that are focused on improving specific skills, whether it’s articulation, fluency, language comprehension, or social communication. Throughout the session, I’ll use a variety of exercises and tools that suit your individual strengths and areas of improvement. These might include practicing sounds or words, engaging in conversation, or using visual aids and games to make the process fun and effective. I’ll give you feedback and guide you through each task, breaking it down into manageable steps. We’ll also spend time discussing strategies you can use outside of therapy to continue progressing, whether it’s practicing at home, in social settings, or through self-monitoring. The pace is flexible, and I’ll adjust based on how you’re doing, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and motivated. Above all, our sessions are collaborative, and I encourage open communication so we can work together to achieve your goals. Each session is designed to help you feel more empowered in your ability to communicate, one step at a time.
