Communication Comes in Many Forms

People share thoughts in different amazing ways. Communication is not just about speaking words. Everyone has a special way of expressing themselves.

Speaking Out Loud: Using Voice Words

Speaking with our voice is one way to share thoughts. We can use words to tell stories, ask questions, and share feelings. Everyone's voice is unique and important.

Silent and Assisted Communication Tools

Some people use special tools to communicate. Communication devices, tablets, and sign language help people share their thoughts when speaking is challenging.

Using Hands and Body to Communicate

Our hands and body can tell stories too! Gestures, sign language, and body movements help us express feelings and ideas when words are hard to use.

Visual Communication with Pictures

Pictures can tell big stories! Communication boards, drawings, and symbols help people share thoughts when words feel tricky.

Emotional Expressions Without Words

We can show feelings through facial expressions, body language, and art. Smiles, frowns, and drawings can tell others how we feel inside.

Respecting Every Communication Style

Every way of communicating is special and important. We listen and respect how others share their thoughts, no matter what method they use.
