A young man in glasses points to picture buttons on his communication tablet while talking with a kind doctor at a small table. His support person sits beside him holding a list of questions.

Before the visit

  1. Write your questions down.
  2. Bring a list of your medicines.
  3. Decide if you want a support person with you.
  4. If you use AAC, program key phrases ahead of time.

During the visit

You can ask the doctor to speak to you directly, slow down, or write things down. You can ask for a longer appointment next time.
