While Creativity-Ability primarily supports arts-based programs and Supported Studios, Language For Listening is designed for a broader range of programs and professionals seeking to enhance social connection, collaboration, and engagement through structured listening practices. It is applicable across various environments where communication, self-expression, and interaction are key.

​

At its core, Language For Listening is about empathy in action—helping facilitators and support professionals identify what others are affected by, including motivations, interests, and value systems. By sharpening their ability to listen beyond words, practitioners gain deeper insights into how individuals engage with the world, make decisions, and express themselves.
