📢WE OFFER AAC EVALUATIONS!

Did you know we offer comprehensive Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Evaluations?

AAC is a powerful tool when spoken words have not developed. From simple picture boards to high-tech devices there are many options to encourage communication and connection!

If you’ve tried traditional therapy and are interested in seeing if ASC is right for your child, an AAC evaluation might be the answer. Our evaluations are thoughtful, individualized, and neurodiversity-affirming!

📞 Ready to explore the right communication path for your family? Contact us today to schedule your child’s AAC evaluation!

Why Kinetic Sand is Speech Gold:

⭐️Collaborative play: We are building connection through child-led play, creating a natural environment for sharing language.
⭐️Sensory Regulation: The calming, tactile input helps the child stay regulated and focused, making them more available for learning and interacting.

What was the most important factor when you chose your child’s therapist?

Gestalt scripts, or gestalts are phrases GLPs repeat to express their needs, desires and feelings! This is a great start to language!

Repeating their gestalts back to them is a great way to validate their communication style.

You can also introduce new gestalts like “check it out” to add to your child’s developing vocabulary.

🌊 The Depths of Play

At first glance, play might look simple—blocks, pretend food, dress-up clothes. But just like an iceberg, there’s so much more beneath the surface.

Above the water: giggles, movement, creativity

Below the surface: problem-solving, emotional regulation, motor planning, social connection, language development

At Fundamentals, we see play for what it truly is: the foundation of learning, growth, and connection. When children play, they’re not “just playing” — they’re building the skills they’ll use for life.

Join us for Open Play Monday-Saturday!

Play➡️ Regulation ➡️ Connection ➡️ Language!

Here at a Competent Communcators, we emphasize connection before compliance. That means following your child’s lead so they can learn to speak about what is important to them! That is how real connection is fostered which will lead to more and more language!
