Therapy blocks are designed for children with complex speech sound disorders, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and other complex motor speech presentations.
How therapy is structured:
Every therapy block follows the FLOW framework.
Therapy is grounded in strong research and a clear understanding of how speech is learned, planned, coordinated, and carried out.
Time is taken to understand why speech is difficult for your child, including how their speech system works, their development, and the factors that support or challenge learning.
FLOW focuses on identifying where meaningful change is possible, whether that’s clearer speech, reduced effort, increased confidence, or better communication in everyday life.
Therapy considers the whole child — their personality, family, school environment, energy levels, and day-to-day life — so therapy fits naturally into their world and supports participation using the best of what speech science offers.
Block therapy involves two to three sessions per week over a defined period, followed by a structured review and consolidation phase.
Intervention approaches may include:
Approach selection depends on your child’s presentation and stage of learning.
