Getting started with telehealth for early intervention: Learning modules

Children communicate in many ways. Your provider will assess both verbal and non-verbal communication.

Communication includes both:

Expressive communication

This is the communication your child is outputting to others, what they are communicating through verbal and non-verbal means.

Receptive communication

This is how your child comprehends and understands the communication of others.
