The DIR-FCD philosophy presumes competence in all students. Therefore, we must use interventions that allow all students to express their inner lives. And, because students have such diverse profiles, communication programs must be tailored to reflect these different abilities. One size does not fit all! This workshop will provide an overview of a wide range of communication approaches for students of all ages. The second half of the workshop will provide stations for participants to learn more about the different approaches.
