For example, you might verbally say “We are finished eating, it’s time for a bath” and use the touch cues “finished” “eating” “bath” when speaking that sentence. Using touch in this way allows people to be part of what is happening around them instead of just having things ‘happen to them’. Touch cues can be used to build understanding and let someone know what is happening right now and what might happen next. They can be used alongside objects of reference, sign, picture symbols and more robust AAC systems, building up a multi-sensory method of communicating. Touch cues are a complimentary communication tool. Using touch can be necessary for some people who may need more than just a visual symbol to make sense of the world around them. Touch cues (sometimes known as on-body signs) are physical prompts made on a person’s body.
