@EmilioLees Can I confirm if you are formally PECS trained? I’m concerned that many of these statements reflect a misunderstanding of the PECS approach and that such statements may put people off using an approach designed to help a child who is otherwise struggling to communicate.

An incredible charity set up in memory of Finlay who sadly passed away in 2014, to help our hospital families admitted in an emergency situation by providing Comfort Kits

Ectopic pregnancy affects around 1 in 80 pregnancies. If not diagnosed and treated quickly, an #ectopicpregnancy can be life-threatening.

[Sensory Beginnings @sensorybegin]

Although this glorious photo of sensory chaos is wonderful for feeding skill development, it can be really challenging for a parent who is over-responsive to sensory input to tolerate this.

When supporting feeding we need to support the family.
