Areas of Practice

We focus on what we do best: language, literacy and speech supports for all children, with a special interest and passion for supporting autistic, ADHD and children with learning disabilities.

 

We are dedicated to ongoing professional development in the areas of: written language (reading/writing), oral language development (including spoken language and AAC), and total communication skills. We listen to the firsthand experiences of autistic adults and clinicians to help guide our practice and values with this population of children.
