Connect and Communicate

Connect and Communicate Centre for Speech Therapy and Social Communication We are a centre dedicated to supporting individuals to become effective ‘social communicators’.

Our effectiveness as communicators does not depend merely on the acquisition of speech and language. Many individuals are able to talk but not able to relate. Relating requires one to ‘tune in’ to another. It requires self awareness and awareness of others. Hence social communication includes:

-Attending to other people
-Sustaining engagement
-Thinking about others thinking about you
-Relating (through play and conversation)
-Problem solving and adapting one’s ideas
-Elaborating on shared ideas
-Reflective thinking

Trying something new can be scary, uncomfortable, and stressful. 😣 You are not alone! Hear Aunty Ling Fong's experience trying surfskate for the first time and how she has stepped out of her comfort zone. 🛹

Time of the year to buy planners (hopefully already on sale) and (try to) get organised! As technology has made it so easy for us to bring our planners in our pockets, the small screen and convenience may not always be the most friendly for those of us who struggle to visualise and feel time (ps: I still stick to a physical planner that gives me both a monthly and daily template). It does not always mean we stick to one type of planner, but it helps to know how each kind of planner helps us to visualise time, makes it easier to be distracted, gives us the satisfaction of crossing tasks out. Which one will you go for?

Why do we need individual therapy when we are learning to be social?

Think about social learning like a tree 🌳. Michelle and Pam from Social Thinking have come up with a visual for us to understand the foundations and capacities from which social learning grows. Every child is different and benefits from different formats of therapy. Feel free to reach out to your therapist to talk about what best suits you and your child! ❤️

“Don’t say lah!” — or maybe… do? 👀
Many parents encourage their children to speak in “proper English”, but there’s real value in code-switching too! Singlish isn’t “wrong English”, it’s part of who we are! Find out why code-switching can actually help your child’s communication. Swipe left to learn more! 🇸🇬✨

We are sometimes surprised when our children are not aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and respond to them with confusion and sometimes anger. Here are some tools we use to discuss this with our kids (and even amongst ourselves) to help them feel on-board with their goals, and to help them learn about themselves, and eventually advocate for the support they need!
