Programs should never be limited to these instructional techniques. The principle emphasis should always be communication. Communication should never be limited to a specific schedule within the day, rather, it is an on going process which occurs throughout the day, both at home and at school. Opportunities to facilitate communication should be incorporated into the natural flow of daily activities. The most effective way to facilitate communication is by capitalizing on naturally occurring situations in which interest and motivation is already captured.
Communication involves two or more people.
The individuals involved in the communication process continually influence each other. We can, therefore, play an important role in setting up the environment to maximize the opportunities for communication. It is important that we have realistic expectations. We must take care not to assume too much responsibility toward the non- speaking individual in the process of communication.
