How the CARES Method ™ Works
1. Road Map:
First, we create a CARES Road Map ™ and review your main concerns for your child’s speech, language learning, social communication and mealtime development.
This includes a records review, parental interview, assessment of the current support ecosystem, and one-hour observation of your child at my clinic Chatty Child.
2. Blue Print:
Second, we create a CARES Blueprint™ for communication, learning and mealtime improvement and success.
This includes a written document of your child’s priorities, friction points and a plan to help support your child and their team moving forward.
3. Implement:
Third, we create a CARES Therapeutic Intensive Program ™ curated for your child to address the targeted areas of concern and implement ideas and therapeutic methods for improvement.
This includes: a weekly intensive therapy program of speech and occupational therapy at the Chatty Child Clinic that is customized for your child and your visit into New York City. In addition, home strategies, routines and guidance for your family and therapy team to improve your child’s speech, language, communication ,mealtime, and sensory learning success is provided.
4. Evolve:
Fourth, we have a CARES Progress Review Meeting.
In this meeting we will review what is working, what is not working, and how we can adjust accordingly for the next intensive treatment sessions.
Generalize:
Fifth, the family works on utilizing the CARES Backpack & ToolKit ™ I share. These tools are used as guidance and generalization strategies by the family, when The Family Support Clarity Evaluation ™ and Therapeutic Intensive Program ™ is completed for continued generalization and growth of learned skills. This can be used as further guidance for the child’s current therapeutic team and family.
The CARES Model of Care ™
The Family Support Concierge ™ is rooted by the CARES Model developed and honed by Heather Lynn Boerner MA CCC/SLP. She uses her decades of experience and practical knowledge of supporting a child through their developmental journey in communication, learning, language and mealtime growth, sensory and motor growth, along with her team of expert speech and occupational therapists.
The CARES Model ™ of care is rooted in the following steps:
C – Connect
This stage includes connecting and co-regulating with your child, preparing them for communication, learning and eating.
A – Assess
This stage involves observing how your child is communicating, regulating, learning, playing, and interacting with others through observation and play with our team of SP & OT therapists.
R – Respond
This stage is where we teach you how to respond with effective tools and strategies to improve communication, regulation and connection with your child.
E – Encourage
In this stage we practice encouraging successful communication, expression and regulation with your child using natural, play based activities, strategies and tools.
S – Support
In this final stage, we support, secure and stabilize these learned skills across environments with you and your child together.
