Support communication with clarity, respect, and neuroaffirming practice.
 
The Inclusive Communication Preferences Tool is a collaborative assessment designed to help families, therapists, educators, and support teams understand how an individual communicates across different emotional states and environments.
This resource guides teams to create communication-safe, accessible spaces that honour each person’s unique communication style.
 
What’s Inside:
Communication Preferences When Regulated (Page 1)
Document the approaches that work best when a person feels calm and connected.
 
Receptive & Expressive Communication (Page 2)
Capture how the person understands information (spoken, visual, written) and how they express themselves (speech, AAC, gestures, writing).
 
Processing & Social Communication Needs (Page 2)
Identify supports such as extra time, clear instructions, direct communication, social scripts, or preferred topics.
 
Communication Across Dysregulation Stages (Page 3)
Sections for:
Early Dysregulation
Moderate Dysregulation
Significant Dysregulation (shutdown/meltdown)

Each helps identify what to change, what to avoid, and what supports co-regulation.
