Using Communication Book:
**Please return the letter sent home inquiring about your child's favorite items/activities. I need this to organize a communication booklet for your child to have at home**
Using the communication cards throughout the day is a great way to increase daily interaction and meaningful communication with your child. To have your child request, remove two of the cards from the communication book. Place the two cards in front of your child and ask which activity or item the child would like. Have your child touch the desired card to make the request, or if he/she isunable to touch the card due to physical limitations, have your child look at the card of his/her choice. Once your child touches the desired card or purposely looks at the desired card, reward him/her with the activity or item chosen. Continue to use the cards daily to help with your child’s functional communication skills. As the year progresses, please let me know if there are other communication cards you think would be helpful to you and your child.
