Frequently Asked Questions

Typically 1-3 sessions per week, each lasting 30-60 minutes. Frequency depends on your child's needs and goals.

What is AAC and does my child need it?▾

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes tools like picture boards and speech-generating devices. It can help children who are non-speaking or have limited speech communicate more effectively.

How long until I see progress?▾

Every child is different. Some show progress within weeks, while others take months. Consistent practice at home significantly improves outcomes.
