This week we’re learning PLEASE and THANK YOU – the polite signs that make every interaction more respectful and kind.
PLEASE – helps people make polite requests and ask for things respectfully
THANK YOU – allows people to express gratitude and appreciation for help or kindness
Why these signs matter: Politeness is so important for building positive relationships! For people with PMLD, having ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’ gives them the tools to interact with dignity and respect. These signs help them make requests politely and show appreciation, which strengthens their connections with others and builds mutual respect. Whether asking “Please more food” or saying “Thank you” after receiving help, these signs demonstrate that everyone deserves to communicate with courtesy.
