Communication Needs Don’t End at Adulthood

Adults with complex communication needs continue to require effective ways to express wants and needs, make choices, ask for help, request a break, participate in daily routines, and advocate for themselves.

Support teams need practical strategies that can be implemented consistently across staff, shifts, environments, and everyday activities.

Pyramid Adult Services

Train the Support Team
Customized remote or in-person training builds shared understanding and practical skills among direct support professionals and other team members, including caregivers.

Build Communication Competency
Training on communication can be delivered in smaller segments to accommodate staffing schedules and organizational needs.

Our goal is not simply to teach staff how to implement a communication system. We help organizations build environments where people with complex needs can communicate, make choices, advocate for themselves, and participate more independently throughout their day.

Ongoing Consultation
Pyramid consultants work directly with case managers, BCBAs, SLPs, social workers, clinical leaders, direct care staff and caregivers to problem-solve implementation, strengthen programming, and support meaningful progress.

Designed Around Your Organization

Training and consultation can be customized around your team’s needs, staffing structure, schedules, learner priorities, and service environment.

Support can be tailored to your needs and may include:

  • Staff training, and implementation coaching
  • Assessment of current communication systems and needs
  • Development or refinement of individualized communication plans
  • Problem-solving around individual communication needs across everyday routines
  • Support for selecting and integrating AAC/SGDs
  • Ongoing consultation and follow-up
