The key principles of the sheet in practice<\/h2>\n<div class=\"nc\">\n<div class=\"nb\">1<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Speak directly to the person, not to the adults around them<\/h4>\n<pee>Even when the person with Down syndrome does not respond verbally, address them directly \u2014 not their companions in their presence. This fundamental principle of dignity is emphasized in the sheet.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nc\">\n<div class=\"nb\">2<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Short sentences, one piece of information at a time<\/h4>\n<pee>The reduced working memory in Down syndrome means that a sentence with multiple pieces of information is partially processed. The sheet provides concrete examples of reformulation: &#8220;Take your backpack. Then put on your shoes.&#8221; instead of &#8220;Take your backpack and put on your shoes before leaving.&#8221;<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nc\">\n<div class=\"nb\">3<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Wait for the response without filling the silence<\/h4>\n<pee>The extended processing time in Down syndrome means that responses come after 10 to 20 seconds. Waiting without repeating the question or suggesting the answer is one of the most difficult \u2014 and most important \u2014 adaptations.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nc\">\n<div class=\"nb\">4<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Check understanding without trapped closed questions<\/h4>\n<pee>The strong social conformity of people with Down syndrome leads them to answer &#8220;yes&#8221; to any closed question to please. To check understanding, ask them to show, repeat in action, or choose from visible options.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tip\">\n<div class=\"ico\">\ud83d\udca1<\/div>\n<pee><strong>Field tip:<\/strong> Laminate the sheet and slip it into the liaison notebook that circulates between home and school.

For children: school and family contexts, age-appropriate vocabulary, predominant visual supports. For adolescents: socialization and professional integration contexts, respect for privacy and enhanced autonomy. For adults: professional contexts, independent apartment living, emotional and social life \u2014 communication adaptations must support the desired level of autonomy, not hinder it.<\/pee><\/div>\n<div class=\"fi\">\n<h4><span>Q2<\/span> When to introduce AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) in addition to the sheet?<\/h4>\n<pee>AAC is indicated as soon as oral verbal communication is not sufficient to express essential needs, or when intelligibility is insufficient to be understood outside the close circle. It is not a substitute for speech \u2014 it complements it and, in many cases, stimulates it. The DYNSEO adapted communication sheet includes progressive AAC levels (pointing, photos, pictograms, MON DICO application) to guide families and professionals in this process.<\/pee><\/div>\n<div class=\"fi\">\n<h4><span>Q3<\/span> How to manage excessive compliance (answering &#8220;yes&#8221; to everything) in communication?<\/h4>\n<pee>Compliance is common in Down syndrome \u2014 the person answers &#8220;yes&#8221; to please the adult, even if they have not understood or do not agree. To address this: prefer open questions (&#8220;What do you want?&#8221; rather than &#8220;Do you want this?&#8221;); offer concrete choices with visual supports (&#8220;Red or blue?&#8221; while showing both); create a communication environment where saying &#8220;no&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; is valued; and interpret non-verbal behaviors (turning away, facial expression) as valid responses.<\/pee><\/div>\n<div class=\"fi\">\n<h4><span>Q4<\/span> Is the communication sheet compatible with all existing AAC systems?<\/h4>\n<pee>Yes \u2014 the sheet is agnostic to the AAC system used (PECS, Makaton, Proloquo2Go, MON DICO&#8230;). It describes the principles of adapting oral communication, which apply regardless of the AAC in place. AAC complements the adapted oral communication \u2014 it does not replace it. The speech therapist is the reference professional for choosing the most suitable AAC system for each profile.<\/pee><\/div>\n<div class=\"fi\">\n<h4><span>Q5<\/span> Can the sheet be used in healthcare facilities (hospital, doctor)?<\/h4>\n<pee>Yes \u2014 and it is a particularly valuable use. Medical care is among the most stressful contexts for individuals with Down syndrome, and healthcare professionals rarely receive training in adapted communication. Hand the sheet to the healthcare staff upon arrival at each appointment or hospitalization. For important interventions, you can prepare with your child (or the adult with Down syndrome) a &#8220;communication passport&#8221; including the sheet, essential medical information, and effective strategies in case of distress.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<footer>\n  <pee>DYNSEO \u2014 Free tools for professionals and families<\/pee>\n<div class=\"fl\">\n    <a

For children: school and family contexts, age-appropriate vocabulary, predominant visual supports. For adolescents: socialization and professional integration contexts, respect for privacy and enhanced autonomy. For adults: professional contexts, independent apartment living, emotional and social life \u2014 communication adaptations must support the desired level of autonomy, not hinder it.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi\"><h4><span>Q2<\/span> When to introduce AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) in addition to the sheet?<\/h4><p>AAC is indicated as soon as oral verbal communication is not sufficient to express essential needs, or when intelligibility is insufficient to be understood outside the close circle. It is not a substitute for speech \u2014 it complements it and, in many cases, stimulates it. The DYNSEO adapted communication sheet includes progressive AAC levels (pointing, photos, pictograms, MON DICO application) to guide families and professionals in this process.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi\"><h4><span>Q3<\/span> How to manage excessive compliance (answering \"yes\" to everything) in communication?<\/h4><p>Compliance is common in Down syndrome \u2014 the person answers \"yes\" to please the adult, even if they have not understood or do not agree. To address this: prefer open questions (\"What do you want?\" rather than \"Do you want this?\"); offer concrete choices with visual supports (\"Red or blue?\" while showing both); create a communication environment where saying \"no\" or \"I don't know\" is valued; and interpret non-verbal behaviors (turning away, facial expression) as valid responses.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi\"><h4><span>Q4<\/span> Is the communication sheet compatible with all existing AAC systems?<\/h4><p>Yes \u2014 the sheet is agnostic to the AAC system used (PECS, Makaton, Proloquo2Go, MON DICO...). It describes the principles of adapting oral communication, which apply regardless of the AAC in place. AAC complements the adapted oral communication \u2014 it does not replace it. The speech therapist is the reference professional for choosing the most suitable AAC system for each profile.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi\"><h4><span>Q5<\/span> Can the sheet be used in healthcare facilities (hospital, doctor)?<\/h4><p>Yes \u2014 and it is a particularly valuable use. Medical care is among the most stressful contexts for individuals with Down syndrome, and healthcare professionals rarely receive training in adapted communication. Hand the sheet to the healthcare staff upon arrival at each appointment or hospitalization. For important interventions, you can prepare with your child (or the adult with Down syndrome) a \"communication passport\" including the sheet, essential medical information, and effective strategies in case of distress.<\/p><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<footer>\n  <p>DYNSEO \u2014 Free tools for professionals and families<\/p>\n  <div class=\"fl\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/nos-outils\/fiche-communication-adaptee-trisomie\/\">Down syndrome communication sheet<\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/nos-outils\/guide-adaptation-pedagogique-trisomie\/\">Educational adaptation guide<\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/nos-outils\/tableau-routines-illustrees\/\">Illustrated routines<\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/nos-outils\/\">All tools<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2915],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-700131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-les-conseils-des-coachs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Adapted Communication Sheet Down Syndrome: What Is It For and How to Use It?
