Pictures Not Words

by Fiona Perry

This book has been designed for hospital like settings but can be used in any setting that the reader sees fit. It is to enable easier communication between professionals and their clients/patients who may struggle to communicate verbally due to various operations, intellectual disability or are not English speaking. Communication takes place by simply pointing to photos which have words explaining their meaning underneath. Either the professional or client/patient can use the book to advise what they are trying to explain e.g. milk with my coffee. This book is only for basic communication and must never replace the need for qualified interpreters when serious and indepth conversations need to take place.
