hi
my 4 year old grandson has cerebral palsy and severe learning disabilities. I am just wondering how we can improve our communication skills with him. I am not sure what he understands he points to things but we never know if he is in pain or if he is disturbed by something

Hi @Regnomnori,
I'm not sure if you are still looking at the online community, but you may find the following site useful.
http://www.talkingpoint.org.uk/
There are many different ways for people to communicate including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) which can be as basic as using photos.
I hope this helps and you find a way for your grandson to communicate his needs to you.
