Neurodevelopmental disorders

Medical history and interview with parents or carersWe gather detailed information about the patient's developmental history, communication skills, and behaviours, as well as relevant family history.

Assessment of communication and language skills: we conduct tests and observations to determine the level of receptive and expressive language development, as well as the presence of specific difficulties.

Exploration of cognitive abilitiesWe assess aspects such as comprehension, memory, and cognitive processing that may influence communication skills.

Setting communicative and linguistic objectivesWe set realistic and specific goals to improve communication skills, tailored to the individual needs and abilities of the patient.

Selection of therapeutic methods and approaches: we determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach, which may include language modification techniques, language stimulation, or the use of alternative or augmentative communication systems (AAC).

Design of personalised activities and materials: we create tailored activities and resources to address the patient's areas of difficulty and promote language and communication development.

Language stimulation exercisesWe employ techniques to promote the acquisition and development of language skills, including phonology, grammar, and vocabulary.

I work in functional communication.We focus on practical and functional communication skills to improve autonomy and participation in everyday activities.

Integration of Alternative or Augmentative Communication Systems (AAC)Where necessary, we introduce and teach how to use devices or systems that facilitate communication.

Monitoring language and communication development: We conduct regular assessments to measure progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.

Incorporation of strategies into daily routine: we provide guidelines and activities that the patient and their environment can practice to reinforce progress in different contexts.

Collaboration with other professionals and family membersWe work closely with other healthcare professionals and offer support and guidance to families to maximise treatment outcomes.
