Intervention/Rehabilitation- develop individualized treatment programs; provide individual and group training programs for family and professionals involved with the individual client to promote effective communication strategies; provide speech and language therapy on an individual or group basis
Collaboration - work closely with parents and caregivers, nursing staff, teachers, occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, early childhood educators and early intervention workers to provide effective programming
