How adults interact and communicate with your child

Standardized assessments are not currently offered.
At Colourful Communicators, we specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals and young children, where standardized testing is often not the best fit.
Instead, we use a holistic, strengths-based approach that includes family input, observation, and play-based interactions within the child’s everyday environment. This helps us understand their current abilities and identify meaningful next steps.
If you’re unsure what kind of assessment or support you need, feel free to reach out via the contact form — we’re happy to help.
