This month's "FlagHouse Forum" focuses on how to choose the communicator best-suited to a child's special need. FlagHouse--a premier global supplier of resources for special needs, education, physical activity and recreation--is pleased to partner with "Exceptional Parent" to bring its readers this informational forum. Humans communicate with each other in many ways. They certainly are not limited to vocal communication. Clear communication between child and parent can pave the way to a thriving daily life, and that begins with enabling the child to communicate effectively. Communicators have the power to translate a person's thoughts into vocal messages; and there's a wide range of communicators available to suit his or her needs. Communicators range from simple to multi-functional, allowing users to begin with a suitably easy device and then gradually progress to a communicator with multiple options.
