How do the concepts and skills learned at Communication Works generalize out of the clinic setting?
Family involvement is an integral part of our program and helps lead to success. As part of each weekly session, we provide parent/caregiver/partner training during a portion of each session. This involves discussing the vocabulary, concepts and lessons that were introduced each week as well as ideas about how to carry-over skills learned in therapy in other environments. We provide a binder with written handouts to share with other family members, therapists and school personnel. CW actively strives to provide on-going communication and consultation with all family members and professionals involved with our clients. We encourage weekly communication about what is going on at school, work and home so that we can incorporate any concerns or real life issues in our lessons. In addition, CW is committed to incorporating community outings into our programs, during which our clients have the opportunity to practice their new skills in a real-world setting.
