Understanding and Supporting Communication | Workshop | 15/03/2023
March 15, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Families are meaningfully engaged in all aspects of their child’s therapy program. We acknowledge families as lifelong Educators, and provide support and guidance to families to be their child’s advocate and leader. We do this by providing multiple opportunities across a semester for families to engage with learning and peer support.
Communication is about so much more than just the words we use or the ability to talk. Join our Speech Pathologist to learn more about what communication is, and how to support the ongoing development of communication skills in school-aged children with Autism.
In this workshop you will explore:
- The difference between ‘Speech’, ‘Language’ and ‘Communication’
- The various Functions of Communication
- The importance of ‘Language Nutrition’ in children with Autism
- Foundation Skills for effective communication
- Using routines at home and school to build communication skills
- Communication Strategies for home and in the classroom
