Total Communication Launches Visualizing & Verbalizing to Support Language Skills in Kids & Teens

1 PEMIMPIN DRIVE #11-08 SINGAPORE 576151, Singapore - April 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Total Communication, a centre for speech and educational therapy in Singapore, has reintroduced the Visualizing & Verbalizing (V/V) Programme this April. This research-based intervention targets one of the most overlooked challenges in learning language comprehension.

Many children can read fluently but struggle to understand what they read or hear. They may miss key ideas, forget instructions, or find it hard to connect thoughts. This gap can affect schoolwork, social communication, and day-to-day reasoning.

The Visualizing & Verbalizing Programme helps close that gap.

It teaches concept imagery, the ability to create mental pictures while listening or reading. This skill strengthens understanding, memory, and communication.

Who benefits from the programme?

• Children aged 6 and above
• Students who read fluently but can't explain what they read
• Learners who forget instructions quickly
• Children who struggle with inference, prediction, or written output
• Individuals with weak verbal expression or poor organisation of thoughts

What happens in a session?

• Students learn to visualise what they hear or read
• They practise describing and organising these images
• They build links between details and main ideas
• They answer questions, make inferences, and draw conclusions
• They improve both oral and written expression

Parents often report improved confidence, clearer thinking, and better performance across subjects.

The programme is delivered by trained therapists at Total Communication (http://www.totalcommunication.com.sg/). Sessions are available one-on-one or in small groups. Parents can choose between on-site sessions at the centre or live Zoom sessions.

Why is this important?

Language comprehension is more than decoding words. It is the foundation for learning, reasoning, and communicating.

Children who cannot process meaning from language may appear distracted, forgetful, or disengaged. But the problem is often in how they make sense of language—not in motivation or effort.

Total Communication's approach helps address the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.
