For a child with speech difficulties, even communicating basic needs may become confusing and challenging. Using picture communication may assist the child in expressing their needs with ease, without feeling anxious. This can be in the form of pictures to convey basic needs, emergency needs, to learn about the steps involved in activities of daily living, and for communicating one’s feelings with another.

Here are examples of picture schedules a non-verbal child can use to communicate:

  • Vocabulary cards
    1. Vocabulary cards are essential to help a child develop their vocabulary of basic objects and places in their environment, so that they can easily pick up the words and also use the visuals to assist their understanding. 
    2. It is advised to use the vocabulary cards in combination with verbal prompts, so that the child is encouraged to pick up the names as well.
