Support for Non-Speaking and Minimally Speaking Individuals

Every child communicates — even if they’re not using words.

We help families understand and support non-speaking and minimally speaking children through personalised, connection-first therapy and parent coaching.

Understanding your child's communication

Some children are unable to use their mouth words or find it really hard to access their mouth words.

Non-speaking or minimally speaking individuals often express themselves in many different ways, including gestures, facial expressions, behaviours, vocalisations, body language, or other non-verbal signals.

At Serennu Therapies, we support parents to tune into and respond to all forms of communication, helping you connect with your child and build a strong foundation for autonomy.

How We Work

We use a parent coaching model, delivered in-person or online, that puts you at the heart of the support process. Together, we:

  • Help you identify how your child is currently communicating

  • Explore what motivates your child to communicate

  • Create daily opportunities for connection and

    communication

  • Introduce a range of multimodal communication tools, such as AAC, gesture, sign, visuals, and more

  • Provide practical, easy-to-use strategies you can implement at home

Our approach is always child-led, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. We never force speech, we support the individual to strengthen their skills., instead, we honour and support each child’s individual communication style.

Why Parent Coaching?

You are your child’s most important communication partner.

By equipping you with the right information and tools, we help you:

  • Feel more confident and connected in daily interactions

  • Reduce communication-related frustration

  • Celebrate all wins and moments of progress

  • Build a consistent, safe, and responsive communication environment at home

  • We’re here to support you, so you can support them.
