This week we’re learning WHAT – a fundamental question that opens the door to curiosity and understanding.
WHAT – allows people to ask about objects, activities, or situations they want to understand
Why this sign matters: ‘What’ is one of the most important question words we use! For people with PMLD, this sign gives them the power to ask about things they’re curious about, don’t understand, or want to know more about. It encourages exploration and helps people make sense of their world.
Think about how powerful this becomes when combined with our previous signs – “What drink?” “What food?” “What home?” – these simple two-word combinations can express so much!
Our growing vocabulary:
Week 1: DRINK
Week 2: DINNER & FOOD
Week 3: TOILET
Week 4: HOME
Week 5: WHERE
Week 6: WHAT
We’re nearly halfway through! Can you see how these question words are building communication possibilities?
6 weeks completed! The signs are really starting to connect now!
