The Power of Communication
“That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set if free.”
Quote by Helen Keller
How often do we take for granted our ability to communicate? Perhaps no other individual could have appreciated more the ability to communicate than the great Helen Keller.
Helen Keller overcame great disability and learned to communicate through the use of sign language. Those gestures became Helen’s conduit to break free from her prison and let light and joy invade her soul. It allowed Helen to communicate her soul to others and let others do so in return.
The power of communication can never be overrated. Whether the mode of communication is the spoken word, sign language, some form of augmentative communication, or the written word, it is simply power in it’s purest form.
This is why I became a speech pathologist. This is why I am passionate about helping our children become the best communicators they can be. Communication unlocks our soul and sets us free.
Be blessed today and you know what I’m going to say:
Get baby-talking!
