My Child's Communication

Select the one that best describes your child's current level of communication.

Communicative Behaviors: My child primarily uses gestures, vocalizations, and/or physical behaviors to communicate. No consistent system of communication has been observed, where the use of words, pictures, or signs are used to meet basic wants and needs. Communication attempts usually look like one or many of the following: reaching/touching people or objects, giving/taking objects, pulling parent's hand toward object to get or activate, clapping, waving, pushing, vocalizing, falling to the ground to protest/refuse, or other nonverbal behaviors.
Emerging Words: My child has started using of a system of words, signs, picture communication, and/or written words to communicate. These include only a few words (e.g., 2 to 10), but are used often to refer to objects, people, or activities and occur on a regular or consistent basis. In addition to a few words consistently produced, some word productions are echoed or repeated, but might not be used consistently or within an appropriate context.
Beginning Functional & Social Language System: My child uses words, signs, pictures, or written text to communicate on a consistent basis. These include at least 100 or more words or phrases used consistently across people, places, and circumstances.
Advanced Functional & Social Language System: My child has limited or no difficulties using language to meet basic wants/needs, maintain conversations, and express emotions. Occasionally, or even quite frequently, my child has some difficulties using mastered language skills to establish social interactions, build friendships, and relate to others effectively.
No Functional or Social Language Difficulties: My child has no documented history of communication or social interaction difficulties, and does not exhibit needs any current needs in those areas.
