Communication and Processing Skills

Clelian Heights uses a whole-language approach to communication by teaching Alternative Augmentative Communication. This technology includes: American Sign Language, Assistive Augmentative Communication (AAC) devices, gestures, and the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) to supplement the students’ communication skills.

Skills stressed and provided individually, in small and large group settings, throughout the school day and within the community are:

• Receptive Language: understanding information provided verbally, through written words, symbols, sign language, facial expressions, body movements or other gestures
• Expressive Language: encouraging all forms of communication both verbal and non verbal
• Integrated Listening: combining auditory stimulation with movement to improve physical and mental aptitude
• Sensory Integration Skills: developing and refining each child’s ability to respond to sensory experiences, including sensory programming in our specially equiped sensory room
