Patients and their families will take part in fun, hands-on activities designed to support clearer speech and stronger communication skills.

- Fun and social activities to improve speech intelligibility.
- Training on ways to stimulate their child’s speech production and will be provided with specific home program recommendations.
- Opportunities to interact with them and other families.
Patients will be grouped according to age and needs.
