Hello Ashley; My question is how often do you involve friends and family as part of your therapy plan and what are some of the roles they play in therapy? Family in involved in therapy from the first gathering of information in the assessment phase. Parents are provided a private 'sit down' following the initial discussion of report findings, etc in order to hear their 'personal story' thus far and to respond to any questions they have. Siblings are part of occasional therapy sessions (with and without parents present) and friends are involved through 'homework assignments' and occasional 'bring a friend to speech' days. Hope this is helpful!
