Bimodal communication in non-verbal children

Tears are your body's way of speaking when your mouth can't explain the pain you're feeling.

Continuing along the lines of visual aids, we now talk about the Bimodal communicationPeople speak with their bodies more often than with words, because it requires much less motor skills and doesn't require language development: that's where we are now. 

Bimodal communication can give us many clues to be able to assess our children, while creating a communicative, fun, and visual game to further strengthen interpersonal communication skills. This communication can facilitate and resolve any problems that may arise in communication. 

At first, it may be difficult for the child to understand; however, through repetition, they will understand the meaning of each of the signs. Bimodal Communication not only allows communication, but also It helps them understand the language of others, accelerate this process and encourage the emergence of oral language. 

Start by choosing signs little by little, the most relevant ones for him, and introduce them systematically whenever this object, this food, those tickles! Language is important but The need for communication is essential and vital for emotional health. We have to try to make our children's lives easier; we are responsible for the path they take to reach that point as quickly as possible. Understanding and expression, regardless of the method, are the most important. It also reduces anxiety, frustration, and disorientation. I am more than convinced that if we have a nonverbal child in front of us, these are all the emotional processes that come behind the lack of communication and the understanding of everything around us.
