Which strategy types are used in SCA?

• A. Verbal and Nonverbal
• B. Visual and Tactile
• C. Written and Spoken
• D. Auditory and Kinesthetic

Answer: (A)

Verbal and nonverbal strategies are used in SCA because effective participation relies on how we convey information and respond to others. Verbal strategies cover the words we choose, how we phrase them, tone, and pace to ensure clarity and collaboration. Nonverbal strategies include facial expressions, gestures, posture, and eye contact that support, reinforce, or substitute spoken messages and help guide interactions. Together, they represent the full range of communication tactics people use in daily tasks and social participation, which is why this pairing best fits SCA. The other options focus on specific sensory modalities or split forms of communication in ways that don’t align with the integrated approach SCA uses.
