We’ve been delivering a joint emotional literacy session with OT this morning for a learner. We’ve been thinking about labelling emotions, body language, social situations and emotional self regulation. #mySLTday #emotionalliteracy

We work with education staff to use photos, pictures, symbols and signs to enable learners to better understand information. Here is one college Tutor talking about how she made the displays at college accessible. #mySLTday #SLT #InclusiveCommunication #AccessibleInformation

Charlotte‘s working with a learner, helping them understand the risks around eating and drinking. When a learner has capacity to make their own choices, we work with them to help them choose safe and enjoyable food #mySLTday #dysphagia #makingchoices #visualresources
