  • Ages: All Ages

  • Notes:  Group sessions are designed specifically for parents and carers. To allow you to fully engage in the sessions, we kindly ask that the customer/AAC user does not attend these group sessions. However, we request they attend two additional sessions with you—one before the weekly group sessions begin, and another between the fourth and fifth session. Your therapist will arrange these with you directly.
