Communication Passports are great tools for students with Speech, Language and Communication needs. It empowers them to share information on how to communicate with them. This is a fully editable document, made in PowerPoint, that is suitable for all ages of students. There are key pages to complete with prompts and spaces for images throughout the document.
Print it as a large, clear A4 document, or as A5 more portable size. Make it up into a booklet, laminate it and put it on a keyring to be shared by the student. Add stickers, drawings, pictures and personalise it. It’s the student’s document to be shared by them.
The template can be used again and again, pages can be omitted if they are not relevant, such as medical information. There is also a completed example to give you an idea of what to include.
The document can be printed and can be completed with the student, the language is simple to read and written in a child friendly way.
There is also information included on what a communication passport is for, and how to use it. A great tool for a range of learners across your setting.
There are several versions, one with a plain background, and some with more motivating backgrounds that can be used linked to personal preferences. Backgrounds can be easily altered to a favourite picture of choice.
