Everyday support

Make your preferences easier to share

A practical starting point to help you prepare your next conversation.

Start with the person

Ask what communication feels comfortable. Preferences can differ by situation and may change over time.

Create a simple profile

Our communication profile lets you write how you communicate, what helps, what you would like others to avoid and how to offer a break.

Choose what to share

The worksheet is yours. Include only information you want to share, and review it before giving it to a school, workplace or service.
