Joint attention

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.
