Having a conversation with someone with little or no functional speech (someone who uses a communication board or device) is, first of all, a conversation, and all the things that make a good conversation still apply.  It all goes better if you’re sincerely interested in what the other person is saying, if you keep up your end of the conversation, and if you take what they say seriously.

With non-speech communication, though, there are some extra points to remember.
