Successful social relationships are important for a good quality of life and enable participation in social life. However, people who communicate with support find it harder to make contacts and maintain relationships. Social relationships should bring joy! But how can people who communicate verbally and those who communicate with support create pleasant encounters? How do I start a conversation? How can I reach the other person with a smile – or with the help of supported communication? Does a joke help me? Could I perhaps give a compliment? With answers to these and other questions, this book paves the way for genuine interpersonal participation that goes beyond education, care, therapy, and schooling. It is aimed at those who communicate with support and the people in their social environment: parents, family members, and friends.
