How our social communication program works

When you extend social communication learning and practice into everyday life, you'll make faster progress. We built our client portal to make it easy to do just that.

THE PROGRAM INCLUDES:

: Your speech therapist will choose from a variety of standardized tests and informal questionnaires for your child's evaluation. They may assess how your child communicates verbally and nonverbally, also focusing on social pragmatics and prosody. They may also review your child's medical and behavioral history. The evaluation results will be used to develop a personalized care plan for your child, which typically includes 2 sessions per week.
: Review and reinforce the social strategies and techniques that you're learning, such as active listening, perspective taking, and understanding components of social interactions.
: Our experts demonstrate helpful techniques, such as social scripts, using social stories for communication planning, and identifying concerns with social interactions.
: Your speech therapist will assign easy ways to practice communication strategies during your child’s everyday routines.
: Get tips, support, and answers to questions from your speech therapist between sessions.

Expressable’s approach to social communication

Our speech therapists are trained in online social communication therapy techniques and follow the Expressable approach:

Outcomes-focused

We typically recommend a frequency of 2 sessions per week for social communication disorders, although this may vary depending on your child's needs. Speech therapy goals should reflect meaningful priorities for your child and family. And the more often your child practices, the faster they’ll make progress. That's why after each session, your speech therapist will give you easy practice activities to do at home. You'll find them in your portal.

Child-centered

Starting on day one, we meet your child where they are, using their interests and motivations to help them communicate with others in a way that's authentic to who they are. We support children by accepting their differences, focusing on their strengths, and helping them build new skills. And because therapy is online, you'll be attending from the comfort of home, along with your little one.

Caregiver-led

Research shows that kids learn best from the people they love and spend the most time with–that’s you! By attending sessions with your child, you’ll learn how to use these techniques at home, during everyday life.
