This podcourse is part of the Apraxia Connect. Apraxia Connect is an online event where leading experts in Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) were brought together to discuss the latest research, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. The sessions explored supporting families with children with CAS, fostering friendships and self-advocacy, and empowering parents and caregivers.

In this episode, I am joined by Suzanne Aldrich. Suzanne has over a decade of experience as a licensed speech-language pathologist. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Special Education, she received her master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology from Seton Hall University. She specializes in speech sound disorders (articulation disorders, phonological disorders, and childhood apraxia of speech) as well as in language delays and disorders in the birth-preschool population.

Suzanne is trained in PROMPT therapy as well as in the DTTC approach for childhood apraxia of speech. She is listed in the Apraxia Kids SLP directory indicating her knowledge and experience treating children with apraxia of speech. She is certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and is licensed to practice in the state of New Jersey.

Suzanne’s therapy style is child-centered and play-based. She believes that connection is the most important component of the therapy process. No progress is made without a connection first. She feels very strongly that therapy should be individualized and based on the child’s unique needs and interests.
