This week’s sign is WHERE – a question word that opens up so many possibilities for communication.
❓ WHERE – enables people to ask about locations, express confusion about placement, or inquire about missing items
Why this sign matters: ‘Where’ is incredibly versatile and gives people with PMLD the ability to ask questions about their environment. They can ask “Where is…?” about people, objects, or places that are important to them. This sign promotes curiosity and helps people navigate their world more independently.Combined with our previous signs, someone could now ask “Where home?” or
“Where food?” – creating meaningful two-word communications!
