Getting dressed the AAC way!

If you ever wonder if there is anything you can't do with a communication device the answer is no! My carer came and helped me have a wash and my device was on the side showing me the plan of what I needed to do while in the bath and my carer pressed the buttons then helped me. Once we was finished it was time to go to my bedroom and get dressed! Out came the device and I began asking my carer to confirm what it was coming up I don't like any suprises! And then I asked for every piece of clothing for her to help me put on in the order I like because of my autism although I have a physical disability as well which stops me being able to dress indepently I have a certain order I like to put things on when getting dressed as I'm sure many people do with or without speech I bet they would surprise you if they was asked what they want to wear!



Then of course as a girl does I wanted to wear make up so again off to the make up page and requested the make up I wanted to wear.... See there isn't anything you can't do with a device even something you think requires no communication you can make it happen like my carer does all great practice!

And to finish the morning off it was party time! A belated birthday party autism style..... Yes she got my favourite themed plates and accessories ha ha ha!
