Understanding Alternative Communication Methods

For children who face significant challenges with verbal communication, alternative communication methods can provide an effective way to express themselves. These methods, including picture systems, communication boards, or speech-generating devices, offer a pathway for children to connect with others, share their thoughts, and engage in meaningful interactions. Every child deserves the tools to communicate, regardless of their verbal abilities.
