At Olives AHS, we work with a diverse range of individuals and our aim is to empower our clients with the knowledge and skills they need to understand and manage their communication and/or swallowing difficulties.

Alternative & Augmentative Communication

Alternative & Augmentative Communication (AAC) means all of the ways that someone communicates besides talking. People of all ages can use AAC if they have trouble with speech or language skills.

Communication Difficulties

At Olives AHS, we recognize that each individual has their own unique learning style and therefore, customize treatment to suit each individual. We value a holistic approach to treatment so as to maximize quality of life and participation in everyday activities.

Dysphagia Management

Dysphagia is associated with a wide range of disabilities and health conditions. At Olives AHS, we assist individuals to identify and manage swallowing problems. This can help minimize the risks of serious health complications and improve a person’s mealtime-related quality of life.

Social Communication Skills

Social communication is how and why we use language to interact with other people. At Olives AHS, we work with individuals by supporting their social communication skills with others in different places such as at home, at school, or at work either in a one-on-one or group setting.
