I have a text to speech AAC app called MyVoice that I use, it let's you set preset phrases or you it'll talk as you type and Ive found it really helpful

Joined this group cuz my bro is non-verbal autistic so its really hard for him to communicate when he is feeling sick or upset but I'm trying to learn sign-language so I can talk to him :)

Hi I am semi verbal and one thing that helped me is having a mini white board, because it can be wasteful to use normal paper and on a white board itβs easier to erase, another thing that probably wonβt fit most people is having me and my friends all know sign language. This is probably a very situational thing tho, hope this helps!

I use communication cards! Just write down needed phrases on cards, then put them on a keychain or necklace for when youβre nonverbal
Useful things for cards is, Iβm non-verbal right now, yes, no, whereβs the bathroom etc

theres a newer (?) app called leeloo made for this situation !! it involves buttons for what youre trying to say based on topic, and it does have full sentences

most people have their phones on them at all times, so i'd reccomend just busting out your notes app and typing something! that's what i do anyway!
