One of our clients recently achieved a wonderful communication milestone:
✔️ Answering and initiating a phone call
✔️ Using appropriate greeting and closing phrases
✔️ Engaging in small talk with a peer

All through telepractice.

At Speech In Focus, we integrate real-life scenarios into therapy to build practical, transferable communication skills. Phone etiquette is essential for developing autonomy, professionalism, and social confidence—in both adults and children.

🎮 Adults Feel It Too!

Games can bring out big emotions—no matter your age.

At Speech In Focus, we support both adults and children to manage frustration, regulate emotions, and bounce back when losing during competitive games.

Whether it's family game night, workplace competition, or everyday setbacks, we’re here to help with:
✅ Naming and processing emotions
✅ Calming strategies that work
✅ Perspective, flexibility & emotional growth

💬 Sometimes, we win and sometimes we lose. Learning to manage losing can be hard, but you don't have to do it alone.

🌟 From “I’m not sure” to “I’m all in!” 🌟

At first, Layla’s* mum was hesitant about using Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC). She was worried it might hinder her speech. Now, after learning how to support her child's communication from our speech pathologist, she’s a champion for using AAC to improve communication! 🎉

We’re thrilled to see this incredible change, from uncertainty, fear to success and wholehearted support. It’s stories like these that highlight the impact of learning and guidance for families.
*Name changed to maintain client's privacy.

🗣️ Curious how AAC could help you communicate more freely and confidently?
