Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)
EVALUATIONS • AAC DEVICE PROGRAMMING • AAC THERAPY • COACHING
If your child is non-speaking or has limited spoken language, AAC will give them a voice and help them share themselves with the world. We support the whole AAC process— from the initial evaluation, to finding and programming your child’s best fit device, to helping you integrate AAC into daily life activities. Using AAC will help your child:
Have more communication tools in their toolbox
Communicate more effectively and decrease their frustration
Gain confidence and share their unique personality with the world
Connect meaningfully with those around them
Gestalt Language Processing
ECHOLALIA • SCRIPTING
Gestalt Language Processing is a language learning style which involves using delayed echolalia or scripting to communicate. We will acknowledge your child’s scripts, create an environment where they can learn more, and guide them as they move through their language journey. Our neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy services will help your child:
Confidently communicate in their own unique way
Gain the skills they need to use novel language
Convey a variety of messages (requests, protests, comments, etc.)
We will also educate your child’s team to find meaning in their scripts and support them as they grow to use original language.
Speech Sound Production
Articulation • Motor Speech Disorders
If you child is difficulty to understand and has a hard time producing sounds we can support growth of those skills. Through the use of evidence based practices, engaging activities, functional word choices, and a home program your child will be able to be understood by others! Our services will help your child:
To be better understood by others
Develop clear sound productions
Gain confidence to talk with others
