Connecting with a nonverbal child isn’t always easy, but we don’t have to go it alone.
We’re all in this together, and there are ways we can open new doors of communication with our little ones.
Here are three powerful ways to help you connect; because every bit of connection counts!
If you have not tried speech devices or autism apps, they can be game changers!
Apps with autism care automation can make communication feel simpler and more natural for our kids, helping them express what they want to say—even without words.
Speech therapy, ABA, and occupational therapy each play a unique role in building communication skills. For instance, speech therapy introduces alternative ways to connect, while ABA helps reinforce positive behaviors.
For kids who experience autistic sensory issues, occupational therapy can be tremendously supportive in making them feel safe and comfortable enough to engage.
I can’t say enough about parent training! Learning the skills to help our kids communicate makes such a difference.
This is where we learn the tricks and tools to get those quiet victories—a shared smile, a nod, a look that tells us they understand. Parent training gives us the knowledge and support to make communication possible.
Each small step, every single moment of connection can feel like a miracle.
With these resources in hand, we can give our kids the best shot at expressing themselves and feeling understood.
