How can people with ALS communicate nonverbally?

Nonverbal communication is also called augmentative and alternative communication or AAC. It’s a way of communicating without spoken words. People with ALS can use these techniques to communicate:

  • Expressions and gestures.
  • Residual speech or making the best use of your remaining speaking ability.

Nonverbal communication has some benefits. It can help you communicate better because it:

  • Allows you to be more relaxed.
  • Reduces frustration and stress of being unable to communicate.
  • Relieves the pressure to speak.
