Social stories aid kids with communication challenges in new experiences. They use simple language & visuals to reduce anxiety, set expectations, & build skills.

Help kids with language disorders summarize by: previewing, chunking text, using visuals, paraphrasing, and practicing. Summarizing boosts comprehension and confidence.

Word retrieval (finding words) & language organization (structuring them) are vital for clear communication. They impact social, academic, & professional success.

Park play boosts language! Use 1-2 word phrases like "Up swing" or "Run fast." Repeat often, follow their lead, and model actions like sliding and throwing.

Healthcare has evolved beyond a one-size-fits-all approach, especially when it comes to the care of children and individuals with complex health needs. One of the most effective strategies for providing holistic, patient-centered care is through the use of comprehensive care teams.
