Communication in everyday life.
Every child and family is different. These are topics to discuss with the team when exploring this service; they are not a promise of a particular treatment or result.
What the conversation may cover
- How your child asks for help, shares interests and responds to familiar people.
- The communication opportunities within play, meals and family routines.
- Goals and ways of communicating that fit your child.
How parents participate
Share your priorities, explain what everyday life looks like and ask how proposed goals fit your family. Discuss opportunities to participate and how recommendations can be used between appointments.
Before you arrange support
- Bring examples of what your child communicates comfortably.
- Ask which strategies can fit into your everyday routines.
Confirm service availability, age eligibility, practitioner qualifications, appointment setting, fees or funding and any referral requirements for your location.
What progress means
Discuss meaningful goals with the professional supporting your child. Ask how progress will be reviewed and when the plan may need to change.
