Nonverbal communication

I have worked with nonverbal individuals in the past. This can be challenging but rewarding. Nonverbal individulas have to find other ways of communicating. I used to have this one client who loved to smoke cigarettes. I knew he wanted a cigarette when he would point to his mouth and moan.


Another client would make a fist and put it up to his mouth, this meant he was hungry.


When my child was just six or seven months, she would hold her arms out and reach for me and whine a little. I knew then she wanted me to pick her up.
