To gather information from a person who cannot communicate easily, simply show the individual the board, point to an appropriate picture and verbally ask the question that fits the symbol.<\/p>\n<p>It is important for the professional to consider that the individual, although nonverbal, may be able to read, write or use a keyboard to answer questions.\u00a0 Offering access to a keyboard, paper and pencil\/pen could provide the best possible response to questions.<\/p>\n<p>Place the board directly in front of the patient or hand it to him\/her.
