Non-verbal Tool

[bazooka111]

A beautiful creation from some friends! Mom no longer can speak, and this jar full of words has been a massive help!!!

For those noticing the word “cemetery” — that is a request she makes quite often to visit my dads gravesite. (Just for clarification) 😉

Sending hugs and love to you both!

I take great joy in caring for her and I cannot imagine myself with this disease — it’s like prison!! I hate it - so whatever I can do to allow her to feel Communicative .. I will do it ❤️❤️❤️

Fabulous idea!!! Thank you for sharing. I was going to do index cards but will do similar just putting them all on a cord. This will be so helpful.

This has been so good for mom, and I really think she loves them! I have pulled some out that she isn't using, and have thought of others that I think she needs. Fabulous!
