about communication

sometimes I see posts asking about AAC.

I don’t like how many want proving can use communication device before giving a device. It don’t make understanding to me.

No one has to prove they can use their voice before they use it.

I grow up stuck inside myself not able to communicate. When I twenty I given a computer to communicate with but it didn’t help.

I never communicate before I didn’t understand words I needed to learn and understand and only picture understood.

I tried many devices and now found best one for me. I not be able if says prove using before give.

give AAC fastest can and teach to use. Nobody learn talk in silence nobody learn AAC without help.

Use to teach and help understand what means. All life I speaking all life only caring what tell voice. I not going voice.

Voice not only way voice not more important. Other ways speaking if you listen.

don’t wait get AAC as early you can.

Communication

I have a fish. My fish is happy.
he can’t talk, he can’t say what he wants, but he still can communicate.
he swims around fast and goes up and down his tank.
he looks at you and shows he wants food.
my fish is saying a lot.
I have a dog, my dog can’t talk.
he moves his tail and shakes his body. He goes closer if he likes being touched. He goes down when he’s scared. He makes noises to communicate. My dog can’t use words but he is communicating all the time.
I have cats, they can’t speak. They run and jump and play. They make sounds and move their bodies. They rub and push you when they happy. They bite and scratch when they upset.
my cats don’t use words, my cats are communicating.
I have a lot of pets, they don’t speak but they are saying many things.
I am a person. I don’t speak. I say many things with my body and my sounds. I don’t use words but I am saying many many things.
you can listen to the pets, they don’t speak. You can listen to me, I don’t speak. We are all saying many things, they don’t need words to be said.
communicating is more, communicating has many many ways.
see our languages and you might see a whole new world.
