At The Communication Nest, connection is our goal, and joyful play is our method.
We strongly believe that children learn best when leading their own journey. Communication is best developed when activities are irresistible, and children and their families are happy, engaged, and having fun.
The Communication Nest therapists strive to consider the unique emotional, social, and sensory needs of each individual and their environment, fostering meaningful connection and real-world communication success. By integrating a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we ensure that each session is tailored to empower children and their families to thrive in their every day environments.
Access to communication is a human right, and everyone deserves to thrive regardless of background, ability, or identity.
We strive to create an inclusive environment where all people feel seen, heard and valued; and ensure that each individual receives the tailored, equitable support that they deserve in order to reach their full potential in their own unique communication journey.
