Communication Skills: Empowering Connection, Growth, and Individuality

Communication is much more than simply asking for what we want—it’s the foundation for building relationships, exploring interests, and expressing our unique selves. At Virginia Therapeutic Network, we honor all forms of communication, from vocal speech to AAC, PECS, gestures, and ASL. In this blog, we explore how effective communication empowers adults with ID/DD to connect, grow, and thrive in their communities.
