Therapy
At ProAACtive Speech Pathology, we provide individual therapy for children and adults with complex communication needs. Every therapy program is tailored to the individual's strengths, interests and communication goals, recognising that no two communicators are the same.
Our therapy focuses on developing communication using a range of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, strategies and supports. We work alongside families, educators, support workers and other professionals to help communication become part of everyday life, not just therapy sessions.
Individual therapy may include:
Learning to use a communication device or AAC system
Expanding vocabulary and language through AAC
Developing communication for a range of purposes, including requesting, commenting, asking questions and social interaction
Building literacy skills using AAC and alternative pencils
Supporting access methods such as eye gaze, switches or direct touch
Programming and customising AAC systems
Communication partner coaching for families, schools and support teams
Ongoing review and progression of communication goals
Sessions are tailored to each individual and may be provided in our Stirling clinic, at home, in schools, in the community or via telehealth where appropriate.
Our goal is to empower every person to communicate with confidence, independence and purpose.
