A Play Chat Page<br />
Th<strong>is</strong> chat page <strong>is</strong> designed to help a young child to communicate about their <strong>play</strong>. It<br />
can be shown to friends and family, and your child can be helped to participate in<br />
d<strong>is</strong>cussing what they have been doing. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> very important to children and the<br />
Chat Book <strong>is</strong> a most valuable v<strong>is</strong>ual tool in enabling communication for those<br />
children who cannot easily interact verbally with others. The Chat Book can help a<br />
child to connect with others, and to feel accepted and confident when interacting with<br />
other people.<br />
Each picture on the right of the page <strong>is</strong> a separate laminated card which <strong>is</strong> attached<br />
with Velcro to the page. The left hand side also has Velcro so that the cards can be<br />
positioned as appropriate. Use light card rather than paper. Make Chat pages for<br />
various activities and keep them in a ring folder to form the Chat Book.
