What is Total Communication?

Total Communication is how we get a message across in a good clear way

This might include speech, signs, gestures, body language, facial expressions, pictures, objects, symbols, electronic aids, touch or all of these

It is not just about speaking or writing

It is about the best way to communicate with a person
