Who this record is for
Name or preferred name, the purpose of this copy, and how the person helped create it. Avoid unnecessary identifiers.
Ways I communicate
Describe speech, sounds, movements, signs, objects, pictures or aids. Say where to find any equipment.
Help me understand and respond
Record accessible formats, attention cues, sensory needs and useful waiting time. Describe support without assuming it suits everyone.
What someone observed
Describe the action, expression or sound, what was happening, and who noticed it. Give a date where useful.
Possible meaning and how to check
Separate interpretation from observation. Record uncertainty, other explanations and how the person's response can be checked.
No, stop, not sure and discomfort
Describe known ways the person expresses these messages and how supporters should respond. Note anything not yet understood.
If my usual method is unavailable
Record an accessible alternative, practical setup, and who can help with equipment or communication.
Sharing, training and review
Who needs this information? How will it be shared safely? Who will demonstrate it, update it and check again? Add dates.
