She also has experience working with children who struggle with anxiety and mood disorders. She has experience treating autistic children/young adults, children who have sensory processing and regulation issues, feeding and oral motor difficulties, visual processing and perceptual issues, as well as other physical and neurological impairments. She graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy, after studying psychology, human development, and art at Central Michigan University. LAMP is not a cure, but a method for providing an individual with a language system that can progress from first words to fluent communication.Jessica Ravineala, MS, OTRL, is an occupational therapist and co-owner of The Therapy SPOT. While this approach was initially developed to give nonverbal individuals with autism a means of communication, it can be adapted to benefit individuals with a variety of disabilities.Įven though each individual’s progress will vary, presuming competence is essential to maximizing potential.
Pairing a consistent motor movement with consistent auditory feedback and a natural response while using a speech generating device.Imitating the neurological processes associated with typical speech development.LAMP strives to improve language and communication by: The LAMP approach not only utilizes visual learning and the desire for structure, but it also addresses core deficits affecting language delay to improve spontaneous, generative communication. Some interventions currently in use with individuals with autism focus on the perceived strengths associated with autism, such as visual learning and the desire for structure. Language and social interaction may be affected by impairments in motor skills and auditory and sensory processing. Accessing each word on the device with a consistent, unique motor pattern with auditory feedback provided a means for developing independent communication.Teaching those words in sensory-rich activities, and.Giving individuals access to core words on a speech-generating device,.In their interactions with nonverbal individuals with autism, they found that: LAMP was developed out of the clinical practices of John Halloran, MS, CCC-SLP, Cindy Halloran, OTR/L, and Mia Emerson, MS, CCC-SLP.
The goal is to give individuals who are nonverbal or have limited verbal abilities a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves in any setting. Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) is a therapeutic approach based on neurological and motor learning principles.
