# How personal photos in Express Me opened one young adult's conversations

When someone finds speaking and finding words hard, the people around them can build a very personal **Express Me** set-up with their own photos and familiar words. In one-to-one moments, this makes it easier to talk about real, everyday topics.

The clear voice and simple picture-and-word tiles help the young adult join in at their own pace. It is a small, personal way to keep communication open and meaningful.
