"The Communication Profile" is a tool to promote efficient and effective communication with people who have intellectual disabilities. Part 1 provides a joint framework for dialogue around communication issues. Part 2 is a one-page user-friendly summary sheet which encapsulates this discussion, giving an overview of understanding and expressive communication in basic practical terms. The Profile is designed for use by speech & language therapists, but would also be of interest to other professionals working in intellectual disability services or special education." The Communication Profile": aids the agreement of clear communication aims and expectations for intervention, which results in greater understanding, joint communication goal planning and cooperation from communication partners; is person-centred, time-efficient, and an inclusive and practical way of involving communication partners; consolidates communication assessments and the experiences of communication partners; can be used as part of a holistic speech and language therapy assessment, to identify training needs for communication partners, to provide individualised communication advice, to chart change in an individual's communication strengths and needs, to support transition (eg, from school, or into residential services) or in the community (eg, given to medical staff on hospital admission or to new employers), or as a screening tool.
