As a Hanen Certified Autism specialised Speech Therapist
Hanen based programs place emphasis on empowering the parents of children who have autism and language delay. It is much better than most therapist centered approaches that does not translate to real world interactions outside of the speech therapy center. It Takes Two to Talk® Certification Course for Speech-Language Pathologists is a course that is best suited for Speech Language Pathologist who give importance to empowering parents to develop their child’s capabilities.
This course is an evidence-based program and it enables therapists to create a parent coaching framework that uses highly effective responsive-interaction strategies for facilitating the language development of children with speech delay.
All our programs for parents utilise the strategies of the Hanen program.
As an Oral-Placement Therapist
Oral Placement Therapy is a part of speech therapy which utilises a combination of: (1) auditory stimulation, (2) visual stimulation and (3) tactile stimulation to the mouth to improve speech clarity. Unlike traditional speech therapy techniques, OPT involves the use of “tactile-proprioceptive techniques” which help children who have motor and/or sensory impairments. OPT is used to improve articulator awareness, placement (dissociation, grading, and direction of movement), stability, and muscle memory. OPT is useful in cases where traditional speech therapy fail to show a good improvement in speech. You can know more about OPT here: https://talktools.com/pages/what-is-opt
Sheena Thomas has also completed both level 1 and level 2 courses that are essential for Oral Placement Therapy.
1) Oral Placement Therapy: Assessment and Program Plan Development and Oral Placement Therapy
This is an introductory course for Speech Language Pathologists for assessing the patients and to develop a plan to treat the patients.
2) A Three Part Treatment Plan for oral Placement Therapy
This is an advanced level course aimed at preparing a treatment plan for clients with speech issues.
Towards ‘Therapeutic Play Practitioner’ Certification
Sheena Thomas is now on her way to become a Therapeutic Play Practitioner. She has completed ‘Play Therapy for Children with Special Needs’, and is studying to become ‘Therapeutic Play Practitioner for Children with Special Needs’, to integrate Play Therapy into her practice.
With 12 years of experience, Sheena Thomas, (Autism Speech Therapist) has learnt one thing: that a dedicated parent is the most essential requirement for a child to speak. Nothing else matters as much as a mother who is willing to go to extremes just so as to hear her child speak. The number of hours that a child spends in a therapy center, the amount of money that the parents cough up, none of that matters here.
