How I communicate

Tom is nonverbal. He communicates with Proloquo2Go on his iPad. Keep the iPad within his reach.

When I am overwhelmed

He covers his ears, rocks, or pulls away when he feels overwhelmed.

What calms me

Relaxed shoulders, steady breathing, and interest in his iPad mean he is settled.

Never do this

Give him space. Do not crowd or touch him without warning.

What helps me feel safe

A quiet space, fewer people, and a calm voice help him settle. Give him time and do not rush him.
