Following an initial evaluation and/or consultation with a clinical supervisor, a client may enroll in individual therapy, group therapy, or a combination of both. One-on-one therapy is customized to suit each client's current communication needs. We continuously seek input from our clients and families in order to develop the most functional goals, compensatory strategies, and/or augmentative communication tools.
