Services for Alternative Communication/Communication Aids

Avid Language

Inclusive books for families with (and without) hearing loss. The books feature bold and optimistic deaf characters (they call them Super Hearoes), who are proud to sport their cochlear implants and/or hearing aids and love using their voices to communicate - sometimes with the help of their hands too! Alongside their friends, teachers, therapists and families, the Super Hearoes encounter and overcome diverse challenges.

Behaviour Bloom

Behaviour Bloom are a team of highly skilled and experienced behavioural therapists. All of their behavioural therapists have obtained a master's degree as a minimum and are Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA). They implement positive behaviour support (PBS) both individually and on a school wide level, to support children and young people to increase their quality of life by teaching them new skills and alternative behaviours. They have extensive experience working with children and young people with a range of diagnoses and across all ages. They specialise in the following areas; reduction of mild to severe behaviours (danger to self and/or others), acquiring meaningful daily living skills, increasing communication (spoken word/PECS/Makaton), improving academic skills with evidenced based strategies such as precision teaching, improving social skills, and expanding higher cognitive skills such as inferencing and perspective taking.
