Providing alternative methods of communication such as using a communication board, writing, or using sign language can help the client express their thoughts and needs. Esophageal speech and artificial larynx are options too, but they require specialized training and may not be suitable for everyone. Lip reading relies on visual cues and may not be effective for all communication needs.
