Going nonverbal is not a thing.

I���m a part time AAC user due to verbal shutdowns. I use a high tech AAC device, text to speech apps, communication cards and a DIY letter board.

A lot of people like me, who experience verbal shutdowns incorrectly label themselves as “nonverbal”. This misuse of language actually harms the nonspeaking community, and speaks over their lived experience. Nonverbal and nonspeaking describe a full time, long term state of being unable to speak much or at all.

This is not the same as sometimes being usually able to speak, but experiencing verbal loss.

Now don’t get me wrong, if you’ve been using nonverbal to describe yourself for a long time, only to realize that word wasn’t for you, it can be a big change. Even I was quite resistant at first to change my use of language.

But this is important. Nonspeaking people are so often left out of conversations, and so rarely given chances to share their opinions. But the majority of the nonspeaking community has made it clear that this is not a word for people like me, and it’s important to listen to them.

If you’re struggling to find a correct term for temporary loss of speech, here are some alternatives ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Verbal loss

Verbal shutdown

Speaking break

(Episodic) Speech loss

Communication shutdown

Losing words

hi this is your very friendly reminder that low-tech and no-tech AAC is just as valid as high-tech AAC

and also that even though high-tech devices and tablets can be life changing technology for many people, not everyone...

can use them

have access to them

want to use them

some examples of low-tech AAC:

core boards

flipbooks

picture/symbol cards

communication cards

alphabet/letter boards

pen and paper

some examples of no-tech AAC:

nodding/moving head

pointing

blinking or looking in certain directions

hand signals like a thumbs up

body language such as moving or kicking legs

other gestures like clapping, snapping, making non-word vocal sounds

here is a link about no-tech AAC (written in mostly plain language):

MIT researchers have developed a battery-free, self-powered sensor capable of harvesting energy from its environment. This innovation could pave the way for mobile phones that charge themselves while in your pocket.
