How We Work

Three principles guide every assessment, lesson and training session.

Person-Centred

We tailor every AAC plan to the child’s communication profile, sensory needs, learning style and personal interests. Our approach supports steady progress through play, routines and meaningful daily interaction.

Teaching-led

We use evidence-based strategies, modelling and hands-on activities to build strong AAC foundations. Lessons are bespoke to each learner, informed by meaningful assessment tools and supported by the right technology.

Family-powered

We work alongside families with practical AAC strategies that fit real routines. Together we build communication habits that strengthen confidence, independence and shared understanding at home and in school.

Where Play, Teaching and AAC Come Together

AAC is most effective when it is used in real, meaningful activities. We combine specialist teaching with hands-on AAC practice to help children communicate during play, stories, lessons and everyday experiences.

Our sessions build confidence, model communication in context and help AAC become a natural part of daily life at home and in school.

Let us explore your child’s next steps together.

Victoria Navin

Founder of Rhyming Multisensory Stories

Tom collaborated with Rhyming Multisensory Stories on the sensory story Rudolph’s Carrots.

Tom’s expertise in AAC enriched the sensory story through the thoughtful addition of repeated refrains, which gave learners a clear rhythm and structure to engage with.

Tom integrated the core board in Grid seamlessly, ensuring communication opportunities were accessible throughout. He also guided the creation of symbol-supported boards that beautifully complemented the sensory-rich activities, making the story inclusive, interactive, and deeply engaging for diverse learners.

It was a pleasure working with Tom and I look forward to working together again in the future.
