A Communication Passport gives an individual a voice to share key information about themselves, to help people get to know them better. A Passport between the individual/child, caregivers and professionals. It is especially important when going to new places and meeting new people.
A Passport is for anyone who needs help to communicate important information about themselves. It makes sure information is shared – not lost or locked away – and saves misunderstandings. It gives people ideas about the best ways to do things and helps to build relationships. A Passport also saves caregivers from saying the same things over and over again!
A Passport is written from the individual’s point of view and is easy to understand. For a child’s Communication Passport, it can have photos and pictures so the child can enjoy reading it, will want to show it and be involved in adding new things to it. Passports can be made in a wide range of formats; printed or digital.
Because they are very personal, every Passport is different – it can’t come ‘off the shelf!’ A Passport is collaboratively created by the people that know the individual best. There should be a ‘core team’ of two or three people, ideally including a parent or caregiver, with one person coordinating. They can then add more people to a wider group.
