2. YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US
By accessing or using our Community — whether as a member of the Open (free) Community or the Premium (paid) Community — you agree to abide by this Agreement and any future updates. If you do not agree with these terms, we kindly ask that you do not join or continue your membership.
3. AGE AND ELIGIBILITY
To join the Community, you must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this Agreement. By joining, you confirm that you meet these requirements.
4. ACCOUNT CREATION AND SECURITY
To access certain features, you’ll need to create an account. Please keep your login information secure — think of it as your digital key to the Community. You are responsible for maintaining accurate account information and protecting your credentials. Sharing login access with others is not permitted.
5. COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP TIERS
Open Community (Free)
Provides access to general discussions, updates, and select shared resources.
Premium Community (Paid Membership)
Provides access to exclusive resources, clinical tools, research summaries, live Office Hours, and premium discussion spaces. All Premium content is protected and for individual member use only, as outlined in this Agreement.
Membership Structure & Auto-Renewal
The Premium Community is offered as an annual subscription. Memberships automatically renew at the end of each annual billing cycle unless canceled prior to renewal.
By subscribing, you authorize Communication Community LLC to charge your selected payment method at the start of each renewal period until you cancel.
6. CONTENT SHARING AND USAGE
We encourage collaboration while protecting the integrity of our materials.
Open Community Members
You may share ideas and participate in discussions while respecting the intellectual property of others.
Premium Community Members
Resources may be used for personal and professional development. Materials may be used therapeutically or instructionally with individuals on your caseload and/or their caregivers, provided all confidentiality requirements are maintained. Resources specifically designed as clinical or educational handouts may be shared solely for educational, carryover, or in-service purposes. Redistribution, resale, or sharing of Premium content beyond these permitted uses is prohibited.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY AND ETHICS
All members must adhere to professional ethical standards and HIPAA regulations. Do not share any client-identifying information or images without proper, written authorization.
8. COMMUNITY CONDUCT AND ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY
We are committed to maintaining a respectful and supportive environment.
Zero Tolerance for Harassment or Discrimination: Any form of bullying, discrimination, or harassment may result in immediate removal from the Community.
No Solicitation: Unsolicited promotion or sales are prohibited unless explicitly requested.
Be Kind and Courteous: This Community thrives on mutual respect and shared professional growth.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONTENT USE
No Redistribution or Resale: Content may not be shared, sold, or redistributed to non-members.
No Unauthorized Storage: Content may be stored privately but not in shared or public folders.
No Plagiarism: Community resources and ideas may not be claimed as your own.
10. AMAZON ASSOCIATES DISCLOSURE
Some links may be affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Communication Community LLC earns from qualifying purchases. This helps support our work and resource development.

12. CANCELLATION POLICY
Annual Membership Model
The Premium Membership is offered as an annual subscription to reflect the depth of our resources and the ongoing nature of the Community. Since launching in Fall 2023, we’ve consistently added new materials and community features, often on a weekly basis. The annual structure allows us to foster continuity, collaboration, and long-term value for members.
Cancellation Process
You may cancel your membership at any time through your account settings. Once canceled, your membership will end at the conclusion of your current annual billing period and will not be renewed.
No Refunds
We do not offer refunds upon cancellation. Membership includes immediate access to a comprehensive library of downloadable resources and exclusive content. Canceling ensures you will not be charged again after your current term ends.
Access Through End of Term
After cancellation, you retain full access to Premium features until your annual billing period concludes.
Rejoining the Community
You are always welcome to rejoin. Please note that all new and returning members enroll under the annual membership option, which is the only plan currently available.
Legacy Members
Members who joined prior to February 2026 may continue under their originally selected subscription terms while their membership remains active. If a legacy member cancels and later returns, the annual membership option will apply.
13. RECORDING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT
Live sessions (e.g., Office Hours) may be recorded and reused in future offerings. By participating, you consent to recording and use.
14. DIGITAL MATERIALS ACCESS AND SHARING
Materials are hosted securely. Access by non-member email addresses may be flagged as a violation of these Terms. Sharing resources outside the Community is prohibited.
