Somebody hands you a leaflet that says AAC. A review mentions partner-assisted scanning. A ward asks whether your dad has a communication passport. Everyone else in the room seems to know what these words mean, and asking feels like admitting you're behind. You aren't. This library explains each one plainly: what it is, who it helps, how it works, and what you can do about it this week. Search by the word you heard.
Please note: This page is general information about communication and the ways people are supported to communicate. It is not an assessment, a diagnosis or speech and language therapy, and it does not know the person you have in mind. If you are worried about someone's speech, language or communication, ask a GP, a health visitor or a speech and language therapist. In an emergency, call 999; if you cannot speak, Relay UK on 18000 or the emergencySMS service reach the same operators.

Also called Jokes and AAC, Sarcasm on a device
Jokes, sarcasm and teasing on a device: slow, deadpan and often funnier for it. Nobody should have to be polite all the time.
Also called HD and speech, Huntington's chorea and communication
Speech, swallowing and thinking all change over years in Huntington's; the person keeps understanding far longer than they can show it, and early planning holds the door open.
