Describes an approach to implementing a total communication environment with a man who has severe learning disabilities, a profound hearing loss and challenging behaviour. This involved teaching the staff team visual modes of communication and supporting staff to use these methods. The intervention was evaluated by conducting observations of the communications acts taking place prior to and one year after the intervention.
