LGK Clinical Communication Foundations™
ABLLS-R Aligned Early Communication Learning System
A structured, step-by-step system designed to build the essential foundations that support functional communication.
When Communication Is Difficult, Where Do You Start?
When a child is not communicating, the problem is not always simply, “They need to talk.”
Sometimes, the foundational skills needed for communication have not developed yet.
A child may struggle to understand instructions, identify objects, imitate actions, make choices, request what they want, or answer basic questions.
These challenges may be seen in children who are autistic, non-speaking or minimally speaking, have Down syndrome, speech and language delays, developmental delays, or other communication needs.
A Structured Starting Point
LGK Clinical Communication Foundations™ provides a structured pathway for teaching the skills that support early and functional communication.
Rather than focusing only on spoken words, the system develops important communication foundations step by step:
Understanding → Responding → Expressing

- Identifying and matching

Let customers speak for us
The book is well made and vocabulary selection is practical. I would suggest parents use it consistently with modelling and prompting for better results.
This has saved me a lot of preparation time. I don't have to keep searching and printing individual pictures. We use different pages depending on the activity.
Very useful for classroom use. We are using it for requesting, matching and vocabulary activities. Lamination is also good because children handle it repeatedly.
I ordered this for one of my clients and found it quite practical. The book format is much easier to manage than having loose cards everywhere.
My child was mostly pulling my hand when he wanted something. Now we are teaching him to choose the picture. Still working on it but I can already see a difference.
I liked the quality very much. Pictures are clear and book is easy to use. We are using it mostly for food, toys and daily things.
Really happy with the book. My son doesn't speak yet and he has started pointing at the pictures for things he wants. It is helping us a lot at home.
