Sign of the Week: Hello and goodbye

1st December 2025
14 SIGN CHALLENGE - WEEK 12 This week we’re learning HELLO and GOODBYE, two of the most important social signs we use every day!

These greetings help the people we support build social confidence, connect with others, and take part in friendly interactions throughout their day.

HELLO A warm way to start any interaction. It helps people initiate communication, acknowledge someone arriving, or show that they are ready to engage.

GOODBYE A clear and confident way to end an interaction or transition to the next activity.

This sign helps people understand routines and express closure in a positive way.
Why these signs matter: Greeting signs are powerful for people with PMLD. They create opportunities for social inclusion, help build relationships, and support emotional understanding. Whether someone is arriving at the centre, joining an activity, or heading home, these signs let them take part in everyday social moments that help them feel connected and valued.
