SOCIAL COMMUNICATION
What is social communication?
"Social communication is the use of language in social contexts. It encompasses social interaction, social cognition, pragmatics, and language processing.
Social communication skills include the ability to vary speech style, take the perspective of others, understand and appropriately use the rules for verbal and nonverbal communication, and use the structural aspects of language (e.g., vocabulary, syntax and phonology) to accomplish these goals."
— American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) 'Social Communication'
At ClearConvo, we use only evidence-based interventions to address social communication challenges in adults, teenagers and school aged children.
Can social communication therapy be done online?
All of our speech therapy interventions are suitable to be delivered both online and in person.
