Early to Intermediate Communication

Your child is a great fit if they:

• Ask for 5+ items using single words, picture exchange, or another communication system
• Use words meaningfully in context (e.g., say “fork” when at the table)
• Can be understood by new people
• Respond when their name is called
• Follow one-step instructions like “follow me”
• Can focus on a group activity for at least 5 minutes

This program is not suitable if your child:

• Is not yet using single words or picture exchange to communicate
• Speaks in full sentences (e.g., “I don’t want to go to the park”)
• Asks “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” and “why” questions
• Displays behaviours that could cause injury or require emergency help
