Communication: More Than Just Words!
Manage episode 522122952 series 3678155
Today, we're talking all about communication! Get ready to dive into what really counts as communication, especially for our neurodiverse kiddos.
In this episode, we'll share our experiences as both clinicians and mothers, breaking down the myth that if a child isn’t talking, they aren't communicating. From pointing and tantrums to those adorable first sounds, we'll explore how every little expression matters and how we can support our little ones in their unique communication journeys. Plus, we'll sprinkle in some personal stories that make it all feel relatable and real. So settle in, and let's prepare to unpack the beautiful messiness of communication together!
