PBS Parents: Communication Strategies (for kids with disabilities)

URL: http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/learning-disabilities/strategies-for-learning-disabilities/communication-strategies/

All children have the right to express what they want and how they feel. But this is not always easy to do. Some children may not be able to speak clearly enough for everyone to understand them, while others may not be able to speak at all. For these children, telling people how they feel or what they want may be among the most difficult things they have to do. Through Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) parents and caregivers can help children with communication difficulties find ways to express what they are thinking, wanting, or needing.
