Our Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) helps our children communicate using speech, sign language, and a variety of Augmented Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies including picture icons and voice output devices. These tools are implemented according to the unique needs of each child. Our SLP also addresses motor speech difficulties, auditory processing issues, as well as other communication-related difficulties our students may encounter.

This Total Communication Approach teaches our students the tools necessary to communicate functionally across environments and allows for student-directed communication. Our students then learn multiple ways to initiate and respond to people, make their wants and needs known, and appropriately comment on their surroundings.
