Hand draw and write to increase communication.
Infants think in images before they learn word. Many of us continued to think in images. Cavemen drew pictures in cave walls. Ancient Egyptian wrote with hieroglyphics (pictures). Chinese writing began as pictures. Using pictures helps us to communicate.
Participants were asked to choose a picture card, then use it to help describe themselves. As they did I made a quick graphic recording.
