Communication Aids
When a child’s speech is very difficult to understand, it is easier for them to make use of a communication aid to converse with others. A communication aid may be a poster or book with pictures that illustrate things the child might want, or an alphabet board that he can utilise to spell out his message. The computers also might be used as communication aids that in fact speak for the person.
Children with cerebral palsy often are not able to use their hands well enough to use a computer keyboard or a mouse so they use a push button to activate their computer to talk. The children can press a switch with their hand, foot, head or chin – whichever is the fastest and easiest for them.
