Lots of people have wrong ideas about people who are non-speakingPeople who don’t talk with their mouths..
People think that if someone is non-speaking, they have an intellectual disability.
People think that if someone is non-speaking, they don’t have anything they want to say.
People think that if someone is non-speaking, they don’t care about other people.
All of these ideas are wrong.
Non-speaking people don’t talk. That’s it.
Just because someone can’t talk doesn’t mean they have nothing to say.
It doesn’t mean they don’t care about people.
It doesn’t mean they have an intellectual disability.
You should help non-speaking people communicate in ways that work for them.
If someone is non-speaking, try to understand them. Get to know them.
Don’t assume things because you don’t understand.
