Wspomaganie niezależności komunikacyjnej dziecka niemówiącego w rodzinie za pomocą programu MÓWik

Abstract

The article provides basic information about alternative and supportive communication and its use in the work with mute children. It presents traditional means of communicating with mute people and describes how the MÓWik programme works. It also shows the possibilities of using a tablet for everyday communication. The article focuses primarily on describing concrete situations from a family life in which the MÓWik programme can be used, for example playing, asking for food, telling about the day’s experiences, using polite forms of address. The article draws attention to the way in which the programme facilitates and accelerates communication with children or siblings but also how it influences supporting everyday speech therapy.
