207. DTTC Isn’t Just for Apraxia: A Scaffolding Blueprint for Speech, Language, Literacy, Fluency, and AAC
What do Gustav Eiffel and dynamic, tactile, temporal cueing have in common?
Scaffolding, vision, and the courage to aim higher than anyone else.
In this episode, I break down why Dynamic, Tactile, Temporal Cueing (DTTC) is not just for childhood apraxia of speech. It is a practical, high-impact framework that can upgrade how you treat:
• Speech sound disorders
• Language delays
• Literacy skills
• Fluency
• AAC users
• Autism and complex communication needs
If you want maximal gains in minimal time, this episode is your blueprint. After standing beneath the Eiffel Tower and speaking at a packed state conference, one message hit me hard: the higher you aim, the bigger the cascade.
When you treat at a complex level with the right scaffolds, earlier developing skills often come along for the ride. Inside this episode, we unpack:
• Why fewer targets with higher reps build automaticity faster
• How simultaneous production jump starts planning and reduces breakdowns
• Why slowing time increases accuracy across speech, language, fluency, and AAC navigation
• How to use most to least prompting without letting the tower fall
• Why errorless learning and the 80 percent sweet spot matter
• How multimodal cueing accelerates learning for every child
• Why you build automaticity first and generalize later
This is not business-as-usual therapy. This is challenge point therapy. This is how you stop grinding and start seeing real progress.
