PROGRAM DESCRIPTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Child's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Too often families and caregivers struggle with how to carry over augmentative communication with their child\/adult in the home or community.  Taking it outside of the therapeutic environment can seem challenging, and at times, overwhelming.  This session will discuss strategies and resources to do just this.  Making communication natural, fun, and functional helps motivate both the augmentative communication user and the people that are supporting them, ultimately helping to make their communication more purposeful, meaningful, independent, and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
