Communication is a collection of skills, thoughts, and ideas that make the world a more beautiful space. We can communicate by using different methods, languages, and modalities. We use these skills to express what we want, think, or feel. This builds the foundation of a lifelong ability that we continue to develop over time. Communication is continuous and always changing.
We can communicate in speaking and non-speaking ways. All methods of communication are celebrated and encouraged through the work that we do here at KidsInclusive. We can help develop preverbal skills, expressive language, comprehension, early speech sounds, social communication and early literacy.
