My Project

My autistic students require this augmentative device that will help them to communicate and say words like their non-autistic peers. It will be very helpful for them to communicate normally.

The main purposes of communication is Expression of needs and wants, information transfer and social closeness.

In our daily life, communication helps us build relationships by allowing us to share our experiences, and needs, and helps us connect to others. The UNO cards that I have ordered will be used to play games with their peers during their free time.
