Communication therapy builds upon the child’s interests so that it is meaningful and engaging.   Anna is learning more about neurodiversity-affirming therapy; the child’s individual strengths and interests drive therapy sessions.  Students are active participants in therapy; they are invested in their own progress.   Multi-sensory supports such as visual schedules, videos, and written prompts are used to accommodate different learning styles.  Literacy development is an important part of therapy because students with oral language issues often need help with reading and writing.   Anna uses the Wilson Fundations ® program.
