Special Time - Lets build communication through connection.

For children with communication differences, connection often comes before communication.

Special Time is a short, child-led moment in the day where you give your full attention โ€” no questions, no instructions, no expectations. Just you, your child, and the space to be together.

This safe, low-pressure interaction helps:
โœจ Build trust
โœจ Encourage shared attention/engagement and turn-taking
โœจ Support early communication
โœจ Reduce anxiety around speaking or performing
โœจ Reinforce that their way of communicating is valued

Whether your child uses words, gestures, signs, AAC, or play โ€” Special Time helps you meet them where they are, and communication begins to grow from there. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
