Everyone Can Communicate

In this training, we describe the many ways we communicate—not just through speech and not just through language. When someone cannot communicate through spoken words, there are many augmentative or alternative ways to communicate. Some people require aids such as a communication book or a speech generating device. Others require no aid—they use gestures or sign language. In this session, you will learn about different ways to improve the ability to communicate with any person and in any situation. You will also get a hands-on opportunity to look at devices.


About Partnership Trainings

Each FREE training module is two hours in length. Resource materials are provided to each family free of charge, and all participants receive handouts and a certificate of completion for each presentation. We offer Act 48 credits and some reimbursement, such as mileage and child care to families upon request. All Partnership curricula are available in alternate formats upon request. Request for alternate formats should be made two weeks before the scheduled training.
