Teach functional communication routines used during community outings, day program activities, volunteering, and future employment opportunities.
Collaborate with family members and Santa Cruz Training Center staff to ensure communication strategies are consistently implemented throughout the day.
Provide caregiver coaching and training to promote carryover outside of therapy sessions.
Modify and update AAC vocabulary to reflect his daily routines, interests, and communication needs.
