Total communication (TC) is an approach to communicating that aims to make use of a number of modes of communication such as signed, oral, auditory, written and visual aids, depending on the particular needs and abilities of the person.
History
The term "Total Communication" and its specific philosophy were first used by Roy Holcomb in California.[1][2] It was adopted by the Maryland school as the official name for their educational philosophy.[when?] TC was supposed to find a middle ground in age-old disputes between oralism and manualism, and as an alternative to simultaneous communication.[citation needed] In practice, however, most total communication programs use some form of simultaneous communication.[citation needed]
