Visual Communication

Also known as: VIC

A method of conveying information, ideas, and meaning through visual elements such as images, icons, symbols, and pictographs rather than through spoken or written language. In accessibility contexts, visual communication systems are particularly important for people with language impairments such as aphasia, enabling them to construct and understand messages by arranging pictorial representations. These systems serve as a bridge between non-verbal expression and language, translating visual arrangements into spoken or written output.
