What is Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy?
Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT) is an evidence-based program where we work in partnership with caregivers of children with social-communication delays or differences (primarily autistic children) to support their social communication skills.
How does PACT work?
PACT therapists use specific video feedback techniques to help caregivers recognise, respond to and enhance your child’s communication. The aim is to improve communication by supporting you to embed communication techniques that we tailor to your child’s individual strengths and needs into daily family life.
PACT can be delivered while you access other therapies so you may continue with any support you receive from other services while receiving PACT.
Who is PACT for?
At CliniKids, PACT is available to children aged 18 months to 8 years experiencing social communication challenges, or who would like to understand their child’s unique social communication profile better.
PACT has been found to be beneficial for children across a range of communication levels, including those children who have not yet developed verbal language, as well as children speaking in sentences.
