Shadow Support helps children with additional needs participate meaningfully in mainstream classrooms. Through personalised, in-class guidance, Total Communication supports focus, emotional regulation, social interaction, and growing independence, so children don’t just attend school, they belong.

Executive functions are more than just “being organised.” They shape how children plan, regulate emotions, stay flexible, and manage everyday tasks. Many neurodivergent children struggle quietly with these skills but the good news is, EF can be strengthened. Here’s what parents in Singapore need to know and how Total Communication supports your child’s growth through evidence-based intervention.

Confidence and motivation don’t come from drills or rewards, they grow through relationship and participation. When children feel safe, involved, and valued, they develop curiosity, self-reflection, and purpose. This blog explores how emotional connection, empowering language, and everyday involvement shape lifelong growth.

Many parents see therapy as “teaching” - lessons, drills, and checklists. But real therapy is more than that. It’s guided interaction, where a therapist mediates experiences so children internalise learning, build relationships, and carry new skills into everyday life.

When your child feels calm and connected, learning follows. Co-regulation is the bridge that helps children manage emotions with the steady support of adults. At Total Communication, our therapists use evidence-based co-regulation techniques to nurture emotional safety, confidence, and growth, one calm moment at a time.
