Communication A to Z

AAC, core vocabulary, partner-assisted scanning, a communication passport. Meetings and leaflets are full of words everyone seems to know already. More than three hundred of them explained in plain English: what each one is, who it helps, and what you can do about it this week.

Please note: This page is general information about communication and the ways people are supported to communicate. It is not an assessment, a diagnosis or speech and language therapy, and it does not know the person you have in mind. If you are worried about someone's speech, language or communication, ask a GP, a health visitor or a speech and language therapist. In an emergency, call 999; if you cannot speak, Relay UK on 18000 or the emergencySMS service reach the same operators.

22 topics filed under A, showing 21–22 (page 3 of 3).

A

Autism and communication

Also called Autistic communication, ASD communication, Autism spectrum and communication

Autistic people communicate differently, not worse: what the differences are, what respecting them looks like, and why 'non-speaking' never means 'nothing to say'.

Auto scan or step scan

Also called Automatic scanning, Step scanning, Inverse scanning, Timed scanning

Does the highlight move on a timer, or only when the person presses? The choice decides who is in charge of the pace.

Need the board, not the word?

Fiducia Talk is a complete AAC talking board, free forever with no account. Fiducia Life puts the same board inside a life, with the family on the same record.
