Being able to express yourself is a basic human need
It allows for collaborative goal setting

Speech Pathology Week: Wellbeing Through Communication

- Communication is an exchange between 2 or more people to share and understand thoughts, feelings and opinions. Through effective communication people have the autonomy to express their feelings and emotions in a variety of settings to support their wellbeing.
- Well-being is promoted through communication. People are supported through expressing their feelings, needs and wants using verbal and non-verbal communication such as AAC, KWS, gestures, eye gaze, body language, facial expressions
- Communication allows the listener to understand how someone is feeling. It’s one thing to communicate and another to be heard.
