Communication Passports

A personalised Communication Passport can be a useful tool to ensure that important information is shared between communication partners in different environments.

A Communication Passport may include information such as:

• People important to me

• Things I like to talk about

• How I communicate

• How you can help me communicate

• Things I don’t like

A Communication Passport will be individual to the learner, but it may be useful for your school to agree on a generic template. It should be with the learner at all times, easy to read and easy to follow.
