Members of our amazing team have created a high-contrast partner-assisted scanning communication book for one of our clients, E 📖
Mia, Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, designed and developed the communication book, and with the help of Gill, one of our SALTAs, it was carefully made and put together which is a brilliant example of teamwork for E!
E indicates “yes” by blinking twice, which allows her to make choices. The book is organised into categories such as Quick Chat, I Want, I Think, Something’s Wrong, Let’s Go, and I’m Asking a Question.
A communication partner scans through the options aloud while showing E the symbols. When E hears and sees the option she wants, she blinks twice to select it. The partner then turns to the relevant page and scans through the symbols again so E can choose the message she wants to communicate.
Mia has been working with E to ensure the communication book is personalised, accessible, and meaningful supporting E to communicate effectively in her daily life.
