What Sets Our Educational Therapists Apart at Total Communication: A Deep Dive When it comes to supporting children with developmental and learning challenges, not all educational therapists are created equal. At Total Communication, we ve made it our mission to go above and beyond in the way we approach each child s distinctive needs. It s not just about ticking boxes or following generic interventions but its about truly understanding every aspect of what makes a child prosper. Today, I want to walk you through why the educational therapists at Total Communication stand out from the rest. This is more than just a job for us. It's a passion. And when you work with our team, you re not just getting a therapist but you re getting a partner who deeply understands the complexities of developmental regulation, and the many layers that impact learning. disorders, emotional Our Educational Therapists have a holistic understanding of Developmental Disorders At Total Communication, our educational therapists are equipped with a broad understanding of developmental disorders. This isn t limited to just the surface-level symptoms; we go in-depth into what makes each child special and unique. We know that no two children with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia are the same. Each has their own challenges, strengths, and learning patterns.
What sets us apart is how we take the time to unravel these complexities. We spend hours assessing and understanding every layer of a child's developmental challenges, going beyond the textbooks and diagnostic criteria. This means we don t just treat the disorder, we treat the whole child. Bridging Learning Disorders and School Demands: A Balancing Act Many parents often ask, How can my child succeed academically when they face these learning challenges? That s a valid question, and our therapists are well-versed in bridging that gap. Learning disorders like dyslexia or ADHD often make school demands feel like an uphill battle. We get that! Our educational therapists don t just focus on in-session improvements; they are skilled at translating progress into the classroom. We have an intimate understanding of what schools expect academically and help children not just meet but exceed those expectations. This isn t about lowering standards; it s about finding creative ways for children to succeed in a system that wasn t always designed for them. The Role of Emotional Regulation in Learning If there s one thing that s clear in our years of experience, it s that learning and emotions go hand in hand. A child who is struggling emotionally is not in the best position to absorb new information. This is where our expertise in emotional regulation comes into play. At Total Communication, our therapists understand how emotions like frustration, anxiety, or even excitement can affect a child's ability to focus and learn. We work with each child to develop strategies that help them regulate their emotions, so they can create the mental space needed for learning. The beauty of this approach is that it encourages the child. When they understand their own emotions, they feel more in control of their learning journey. It s more than getting through a worksheet, it s about fostering resilience, self-awareness, and confidence. Trauma-Informed Practices: Understanding How Trauma Impacts Learning
We also recognise that many children come to us with emotional scars - some from their past experiences with learning, and others from deeper, more complex trauma. Trauma has a profound impact on a child's ability to process information and engage with their education. Our educational therapists are trauma-informed, meaning they are trained to recognise the signs of trauma and adapt their teaching methods accordingly. This understanding is crucial because trauma can significantly alter the way a child responds to education. We don't force them to fit into a rigid system. Instead, we gently guide them, helping them feel safe and supported while learning. Evidenced-Based Practices, designed for Each Child We believe in the power of evidence-based practices. At Total Communication, our therapists draw from a wide range of proven strategies to support learning. Whether it s the Orton-Gillingham approach for reading difficulties or Lindamood Bell for comprehension, we make sure the interventions we use are backed by science. But here s the key:we don t just follow these practices rigidly. Every child is different, and we make it a point to customize these methods to suit their specific needs. We mix and match, adapting our strategies in real time to safeguard the best possible outcomes. Our therapists are flexible and innovative, always on the lookout for new methods to enhance a child s learning experience. A Wealth of Resources, Built Over 20 Years Total Communication has been around for nearly two decades, and in that time, we ve accumulated a treasure trove of resources. This includes not only our physical tools and technology but also a vast knowledge base from years of experience. Our therapists have access to resources that most centres simply don t. This means better tools, better strategies, and ultimately, better outcomes for your child. We don t just rely on the latest trends, we combine years of expertise with modern approaches to provide the best of both worlds. A Transdisciplinary Approach: Perspectives from Allied Health Professionals
One of the things that truly sets our therapists apart is their ability to draw from a wide range of allied health perspectives. Our team works closely with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and even psychologists to create a comprehensive support system for each child.
This Transdisciplinary Approach allows us to view learning challenges from multiple angles. It s not just about education; it s about understanding how physical, emotional, and cognitive factors all come together to impact learning. This collaborative approach enriches the therapy we offer, making sure that every child receives holistic care. Why It All Matters At Total Communication, our educational therapists do more than intervene. They nurture, they guide, and they empower. We re not interested in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. We take the time to understand each child as a whole, ensuring that their unique needs are met with compassion, expertise, and innovation. So, when you choose Total Communication, you re not just choosing a therapy centre you re choosing a team that is fully invested in your child s journey. And that makes all the difference.
