Communication in everyday moments
Sharing an idea
Finding ways to express a thought, ask a question or tell someone what matters.
Joining a conversation
Understanding others, taking part in play and connecting in ways that work for the child.
What we support
Communication is
more than spoken words.
These are areas to explore with your clinician, not a checklist you need to complete.
Language and expression
Understanding language, expressing ideas and developmental communication.
Fluency and connection
Stuttering, social communication and pragmatic language.
Different ways to communicate
Autistic communication support and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Our approach
Follow their interests.
Make room for expression.
We follow the child’s lead and build on their interests. Support may include speech, language, fluency or communication tools, depending on the child’s individual needs.
One connected team
Speech therapy focuses on communication. If sensory experiences or everyday activities are also a concern, the team can discuss whether occupational therapy may be helpful.
