Our clinic provides screening, assessments, and can also provide therapy for social communication disorders.

Someone with a social communication disorder struggles using verbal and nonverbal language and social interactions, understanding common communication patterns, and have difficulties with social relationships. According to the American Speech and Hearing Association, those with social communication disorders may not always change their communication patterns to match the needs of their listener, or they may not follow accepted rules for conversation and storytelling. Sometimes these individuals struggle to understand humor, sarcasm, or the more idiomatic types of communication interactions. These issues can cause difficulty in both social and work settings, strain relationships, hinder academics and vocational options.
