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 — no questions, no instructions, no expectations. Just you, your child, and the space to be together.

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

Whether your child uses words, gestures, signs, AAC, or play — Special Time helps you meet them where they are, and communication begins to grow from there. 🌱🗣️
