Often, people who use AAC or who have problems communicating due to hearing loss and other conditions, experience great difficulty when they go to hospitals. They may not have their regular communication aids or those aids may not have sufficient vocabulary for medical situations. The link to materials that we posted in the final line will take you to communication boards that can help in this situation. Hospital-based speech-language pathologists can download those, print them, and use them with patients who are having a hard time communicating with medical personnel. Hope this helps!
