At Thrive, we recognize and embrace a broad view of communication by assessing and enhancing the following: initiation of spontaneous communication in functional activities across social partners and settings, comprehension of verbal and nonverbal communication in social and community settings, and communication for a range of social functions that are reciprocal and promote the development of friendships and improve quality of life. The Augmentative Alternative Communicationunication Program focuses on identifying communication options for persons with communication impairment and determines the most appropriate high-tech, low-tech and/or no-tech solutions.
