Exclusive Day Service
Developing movement skills to unlock communication

All forms of communication require motor; talking, signing, gestures and motor practice is vital to success.

 

 We offer an exclusive Day Service that focuses on parallel support and shared principles of the importance of motor coaching across our Day Support and S2C Practitioner/Commuication Regulation Team. 

This teamwork is essential for working on:

 

Rhythmic movement and timing work

Crossing midline activities

Postural control and endurance

Visual tracking and targeting games

Motor planning sequences unrelated to spelling

 

All of which promotes and supports:

 

Pointing accuracy

Bilateral coordination

Eye–hand coordination

Motor sequencing

Regulation and endurance

 

Presuming competence is essential.  Non speaking does not mean non thinking! 

 

Our clients are capable of complex thought and we don't limit exposure to vocabulary, ideas, or opportunity. 

Promoting effective communication is really about removing barriers and building reliable access—not “teaching language” (the language is already there). Brain to body dis-connect (apraxia) leaves many, either minimally, or non-speaking.  

 

By coaching gross motor to replace the fine motor required for speech our clients are strengthening motor pathways through repetition and regulation so communication access becomes more stable.  

 

Supporting the development and strengthening of neural pathways that enable more efficient motor planning and communication access. 

 

By strengthening gross motor stability and planning, individuals can access augmentative communication through pointing to letters that is more reliable than the fine-motor precision required for speech.   ​
