Whatsapp Discussion on Communication Passports/Books /Charts/Bands/Cue cards and Personal Portfolio for those with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Dated 1/8/18 to 10/8/18
*Communication passports
A communication passport is a one page document that the child has with him or her all of the time. It gives the people they meet basic information about how they communicate and what support they need. Personal Communication Passports are a practical and person-centred way of supporting children, young people and adults who cannot easily speak for themselves. Passports are a way of pulling complex information together and presenting it in an easy-to-follow format
Passports aim to:
Present the person positively as an individual, not as a set of 'problems' or disabilities;
Provide a place for the person's own views and preferences to be recorded and drawn to the attention of others;
Reflect the person's unique character, sense of humour etc.;
Describe the person's most effective means of communication and how others can best communicate with, and support the person;
Draw together information from past and present, and from different contexts, to help staff and conversation partners understand the person and have successful interactions;
Place equal value on the views of all who know the person well, as well as the views of the specialist professionals. The advantage of Passports is that they are easy to read, informative, useful and fun. They are highly personal, so guidelines to good practice are outlined in this book to protect the children and vulnerable people who use Passports.
*Who uses Passports
Passports are used in home, care, social work, health and education settings. They are of key importance in the community to link up input from all of those different settings. Passports are useful for a very wide range of people. It is not to do with age or medical diagnosis, it is primarily to do with communication difficulties, and life circumstances.

*Communication books & charts
Some children can learn to make choices by pointing to a symbol and or word in a communication book or on a communication chart. They might be able to point with a fist or a finger or they might be able to point with their eyes or with a head pointer

Gina expressed the relevance of communication books when the child first starts schooling.She implied the relevance of using pictures of family members,home ,school,toys and food.
Renu.S.Singh demonstrated the communication books and schedules she made. She adviced that the number of picture choices given mainly depends on the comprehension and scanning ability of the child.She asked to increase the number of picture choices as the child progressed.Pictures of custom made simple boards,schedule boards and calender types were provided.

For preparing improvised teaching aids Renu suggested using self adhesive Velcro rolls of 25m.
Catherine Figarado too demonstrated velcro that can be used for the purpose.
Kalpana Andrews provided a direct link for purchasing Velcro which she reviewed as of good quality
