Due to neurodevelopment disorders, motor and intellectual handicaps, aphasia or neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer, nearly 2 million people in France have a handicap or a disease that prevents them from mobilizing oral language. Alternative and improved communication (CAA) brings together a set of methods and tools to help them exchange and make their voices heard. Its development is a priority displayed in 2023 by Emmanuel Macron, and reaffirmed by the Interministerial Committee for Handicap on March 6.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph  \"><em>\u201cSpeech is 20 % of communication. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em> The orthopedagogue Sandrine Eifermann Soutarson embodies this observation, as she deploys energy to exaggerate her expressions, make signs, mimic, point out images or show videos during the CAA workshop that she animates in a municipal hall in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne).<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph  \">This April Saturday, three mothers came to discover how to better communicate with their children. Annabelle (she did not wish to give her name, like the people cited by their first name) explains that her son L\u00e9ny, 11 -year -old, uses the PECS, a system of dialogue by exchange of images, but<em> &#8220;It&#8217;s limited, he is growing, he is agitated at the moment because he has trouble expressing himself&#8221;<\/em>. Oph\u00e9lie also wants to help her 17 -year -old daughter, a non -verbal autistic, to enter writing. Another mother came with her 4 -year -old boy, who has a language delay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"reading-mode-only \"><strong>You have 80.31% of this article to read.
