Abstract: This article provides an overview of treatment strategies that target communicative disorders exhibited by children exposed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The myriad of communicative disorders presented by these children is discussed in relationship to the complex needs of culturally diverse families. Rehabilitation considerations, the impact of health status on treatment outcomes, and the need to work collaboratively with other health care professionals in meeting children's needs from a family-focused perspective are further discussed.
