Communication Access

Scope’s Communication Resource Centre believes in communities which are universally accessible.

This means communities are accessible for all people including people with communication disabilities.

There are 1 in 500 people in Victoria who need support for successful communication?

People with communication disabilities may communicate using:

• Electronic aids (speech devices)
• Word based and picture based communication books or boards
• Facial expression, natural gesture and signing
• Writing and drawing

People with communication difficulties experience many communication barriers. They want people in the community to:

• Be welcoming and friendly
• Look and talk directly to them
• Give them time to get their message across
• Listen to what they have to say
• Be willing to use their methods of communication
