Londa uses a multimodal approach (ex. gestures, symbols, low/high tech device, strategies, techniques, caregiver training) so the client's daily communication needs can be met. Some examples of low tech devices would be the use of exchanging picture cards or communication boards. High tech devices are dedicated for speech only or may be an app/software on a computer or iPad. There are more options everyday!
