Welcome to my "Ask Me Anything" blog post series!
I answer lots of questions on my social media channels, and it makes sense to share this information (anonymously!) in case it is useful for others, too.
"Hello, can you talk me through your post about PECS? Not sure if I’m missing something. What system do you use to promote independent language?"
We use a whole communication approach, sometimes known as total communication.
You accept and honour all efforts to communicate and to teach it simply model on our end and offer highly motivating opportunities and many different communication methods to see what they go for.
I am not a doctor or medical professional, so for some questions, I will suggest you contact your GP, the National Autistic Society, or the NHS.
