Starting S2C is a journey of patience, trust, and profound discovery. It is not a quick fix; it is the building of a robust motor pathway that will eventually allow your loved one to express their true thoughts.

What to Expect: The Step-by-Step Process

The Critical Role of the CRP

The Communication Regulation Partner (CRP) is essential. We provide:

  • Rhythmic Prompts: To initiate and maintain continuous purposeful motor movement.
  • Regulation Support: Helping to manage the sensory-motor dysregulation that often accompanies apraxia.
  • Emotional Safety: Creating a calm space where competence is presumed entirely.

We Will Coach You to be the CRP

The ultimate goal of S2C is for families to become the primary CRPs. I will coach you through the methodology so you can confidently bring communication into the home environment.

Helpful Hints for Success

  • Stay Age-Appropriate: Always use age-appropriate language and topics.
  • Consistency is Key: Regular, short practices build myelination faster.
  • Patience Over Speed: Accuracy and calm rhythm matter more than rushing.
