Communication Therapy

Communication therapists (CTs) work to ensure students gain the skills needed to be the most effective communicators they can be.

Intervention is provided in the areas of:    

• Receptive and Expressive Language
• Social Skills
• Problem Solving and Reasoning
• Augmentative Communication

CTs provide therapeutic services:

• in the classroom
• during community experiences
• during vocational experiences
• in individual, small group, or large group sessions

All CTs are state and nationally certified speech-language pathologists and many are also nationally certified assistive technologists.

"Language and communication have a base in everything that goes on during the day. We want each student to be the most effective communicator, which means different things for different students. For some students that is about navigating social interactions; for others it might mean a communication book or device to help them clarify a message or recall a word. It is purely individual; we aim for each student to do his/her personal best."
