Devices in AACtion
People sometimes think you have to tell to a person with a communication device like he is a baby. Please don’t do that to somebody. You can talk to them like you talk to everybody else!
You don’t have to talk loudly and slowly to me. I can hear you just fine!
Please talk to me and not to the person with me! I can answer for myself!
You don’t have to use my sentences! You can wait until I finish programming them!
Please look at me and not at the display! You are talking to me and not to the communication device!
If you have a question, don’t be scared to approach me. I like to answer questions!
A perfect example of how to communicate to somebody like me!
