Why Felicity Grove?
"Felicity" embodies so much of what we hope the children we work with and their families can experience as their communication improves. Because successful communication (in the best form for the individual) is paramount to our human experience. It allows us to build relationships, share emotions, express ideas and gather information and it results in joy! We want each child to achieve the most effective form of communication possible. A "grove" of trees seems welcoming and comfortable, peaceful and private....a wonderful place to explore. We strive for each child to take their next steps in communication and development in their own little grove.
